Snohomish County to Discuss Mountain Loop Highway Improvements on August 19, 2025

Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers will host a community event on August 19, 2025, to discuss enhancements to the Mountain Loop Highway and fire trails. The initiative aims to strengthen collaboration with the Tulalip Tribes of Washington and engage local residents in the planning process. Attendees will learn about the expected environmental benefits and potential economic boosts from increased tourism. The event will take place in Everett, Washington, a key city in the Seattle Metropolitan Area. Officials emphasize that community input is vital for the success of the project, which aims to improve access to parks and nature.

The improvements are part of broader efforts to enhance environmental services in the region. With the potential to attract more visitors, officials anticipate a positive impact on the local economy. This project represents a significant step forward in promoting sustainable tourism and preserving natural resources in Snohomish County.
