War Memorial is Closed for Construction

The War Memorial in Lake Stevens, WA, will close on September 10, 2025, for significant renovations. Construction crews will remove the current emblems representing each branch of the armed forces. Larger holes will be cut into the concrete to install new, larger emblems. This project seeks to enhance the memorial's visibility and honor the contributions of veterans. Local officials have not provided a timeline for the completion of the work.

The memorial serves as a central point for community remembrance and reflection. Renovations like these reflect a broader trend of investing in public memorials across the country. Enhancing the memorial aligns with efforts to foster community pride and respect for military service.
