Mission accomplished! #SnoCoPW Road Maintenance successfully chip sealed 41 miles of roads in unincorporated Snohomish County as part of our annual road resurfacing work. The program leverages your road levy dollars to create a smoother driving surface while extending the usability of our road network for years to come.

Even if you never visit at #SnoCoSolidWaste facility, your household garbage likely does. Our Solid Waste team plays a critical role in the Snohomish County waste disposal system.

Students are enjoying smoother, more accessible sidewalks near Fairmount Elementary in the South Everett area. #SnoCoPW crews upgraded ramps and installed new warning surfaces last month. Final work to add Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) pushbuttons will be completed in early 2027 when delayed parts are expected to arrive. All improvements will meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Existing pedestrian signals are still fully functional. Follow the project at bit.ly/BevParkRd.

It's been about two years since Snohomish County Public Works completed improvements at the intersection of Larch Way/Logan Road and Locust Way. The intersection was closed for weeks during summer 2024 as construction crews morphed it from a four-way stop to a high-functioning roundabout. Want to help ensure the intersection looks nice? The center island is available for adoption through our Adopt a Road program! Visit bit.ly/SnoCoAdopt-A-Road to learn more and sign up.

Heading to the transfer station this weekend? Before you drive with a truck or open-air trailer full of unwanted items, be sure your load is secured to avoid items inadvertently falling or blowing out of your vehicle while traveling. A combination of tarps, ropes, cargo nets, and/or straps work well. Unsecured loads arriving at solid waste facilities are subject to fees. Learn more bit.ly/SecureLoad

#SnoCoPW is proud of the talented professionals who deliver our projects, programs, services and lift up colleagues here at the office and across the state. We’re celebrating two of our own for their contributions to the @APWAWashington Chapter! Engineering Services Design Manager Charlie Green (far right) brought deep industry expertise and a supportive attitude to the APWA board where he was thankful for the opportunity to serve on behalf of the larger public works community of Washington. Technical Resources Supervisor Sam Therres (middle) and his colleagues received a Committee in Action Award for their outstanding work training public agencies on public works contract advertising and bidding. Their efforts help minimize change orders and cost overruns on public works construction contracts. Congratulations to both Charlie and Sam for their recognition and continued success!

The #SnoCoLitterWranglers go above, and below, to clean up what doesn’t belong near our county roadways. The team was recently dispatched to Lake Cavanaugh Rd to tidy up the area. Steep hills off narrow roadways didn’t stop our team from retrieving litter and keeping our county looking good. Program info: bit.ly/LitterWranglers
