Busted Snohomish Aquatic Center water slide on path to being fixed

The Snohomish school board is set to discuss bids for replacing the damaged water slide at the Snohomish Aquatic Center in its upcoming meeting. The estimated cost for repairing or potentially purchasing a new slide is between $1. 5 million and $2 million. This decision reflects the board's commitment to ensuring safe recreational facilities for the community. In a related effort to enhance local governance, the City of Snohomish is seeking applicants to fill two vacancies on the Park & Forestry Board, with applications due by 5 p.

m. on October 14. The parks board has canceled its meeting for this month, indicating a pause in local governance activities. Addressing the slide issue is crucial for community recreation and safety, highlighting the importance of maintaining public facilities. The school board's initiative and the park board's vacancies both demonstrate an ongoing effort to engage the community in local decision-making.

These developments underscore the significance of active participation in local governance.
