Snohomish County Public Works

Does your spring cleaning include parting with household items? Consider donation opportunities to divert unnecessary waste from landfills. Gently used clothing, kitchenware, books, and furniture are all great options. Find best practices and requirements through your local donation center’s website.

The #SnoCoPW Environmental Services team leads the permitting process for capital improvements like the Granite Falls Bridge 102 Replacement project. Engineering and environmental teams work together throughout the project to evaluate potential impacts and identify mitigation measures to reduce harm to the surrounding environment.

Careers in public service combine passion and purpose! #SnoCoPW and Surface Water Management (SWM) joined forces again this year at the 2026 Expanding Your Horizons Conference at Edmonds College. Many thanks to the event organizers and all the visiting high school students who brought eager minds and busy hands! Together, we enhanced stream habitat around 3-D printed culverts and studied aquatic life under microscopes to determine stream health. We are inspired by tomorrow’s leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math! #WomenInSTEM #FutureLeaders

The 84th St NE Corridor Spot Improvements project is expected to kick off June 1. The four-plus mile corridor between SR 9 and SR 92 is one of the busiest routes in the county with more than14,000 average daily trips taking place. Motorists can expect to see crews along the corridor installing centerline rumble strips, new wide edge line striping, radar feedback speed limit signs, intersection ahead warning signs, upgraded street name signs, and more. Single lane closures will be utilized during the day. Drivers should expect intermittent delays throughout the summer. For more info, visit the project page at bit.ly/84thStNESpotIm….

@Nunes @snocounty Thank you for your report. We are dispatching a technician to investigate. Please feel free to reach out to our team at 425-388-6420 in the future. If a signal is dark, call 911.

Hey @snocounty - the signal at 136th St NE and 34th Ave NE is acting funny. Random phase changes. Light changes after 3-4 cars go through. Just wanted to give the heads up.

Have you ever wondered where your garbage goes? Over 800,000 tons of material was processed by Snohomish County Solid Waste last year. Containers are transported by heavy trucks from our facilities to the Everett intermodal yard before traveling via train to the Roosevelt Regional Landfill in Klickitat County. Empty containers are transported back to our facilities where the process continues to meet the waste disposal needs of our communities.

Is your spring cleaning in full swing? Remember, there’s a place for hazardous waste! Our facility on McDougall Ave in Downtown Everett accepts a wide range of products with potentially hazardous ingredients. Find a full list of items along with hours of operation on our website: bit.ly/SnoCoHHW

Extended daylight hours are ahead of us as the sun sticks around. Pedestrians and bicyclists are traveling and enjoying local roads across Snohomish County. Crosswalk etiquette goes a long way as we share roads and sidewalks with our fellow travelers. Remain aware and distraction free so all of us can reach our destinations safely.

#SnoCoPW geotechnical engineers and geologists continue to monitor landslide risks along Reiter Rd following persistent rainfall during March. The active slope failure in this historically slide-prone area is bringing soil and debris onto the roadway and poses a safety risk to traffic. A full road closure between Deer Flats Rd and mile post 5.6 remains in effect as the team monitors the active failure and coordinates how to safely mitigate the slide.

The Airport Road Recycling and Transfer Station is open and ready for business! A stronger, more durable tipping floor will serve facility needs for years to come. Temporary steel plates are in place until concrete fully cures. Thank you to customers and commercial haulers for your patience. A full overview of disposal resources can be found on our website: bit.ly/SnoCoSW

They’re back and better than ever! The Snohomish County Litter Wranglers will be coming to a county road near you starting in April. Our dedicated team will work through October clearing impacted roadways of unsightly trash. Learn more about the program and how to submit reports by visiting our website: bit.ly/LitterWranglers

Spring has sprung, which means yard work is on the horizon! Here’s a friendly reminder before you dive into some “mulch” needed lawn care.

Do you know how much of your property taxes go to support our county roads? Unincorporated households in Snohomish County contribute 4.06% of their annual property tax on maintaining our infrastructure.

Snohomish County roads are a shared resource for all. There are many opportunities to walk, bike, and roll along our local roads and sidewalks as the weather improves. Help share the road by staying alert for your fellow travelers. Together, we can all get home safely.

Thank you to community members for taking the time to engage with tribes, county agencies, local partners, and Snohomish County Public Works at the Tulalip Community Resource Fair last week! We value important conversations and feedback with our neighbors. For those unable to attend, information on our county road network, road safety program, and solid waste services can be found on our website: bit.ly/SnoCoPW

New and improved! Millions of pounds of trash were scraped along the concrete by busy machinery weighing more than 25 tons seven days a week since 2017 at the Airport Road Recycling and Transfer Station (ARTS). What resulted were scrapes, gouges, and uneven flooring. The new floor overlay is comprised of a high-performance polymer cement mix with artificial aggregates that should outperform its previous version. Come and see what all the excitement is about at ARTS when it reopens for business Monday, March 29. Facility info: bit.ly/SnoCoSW
