🚧 Centennial Trail Closure – Monday, Sept. 21

A section of the Centennial Trail near 2310 S. Machias Road in Snohomish will be closed beginning around 7 a.m. Monday, Sept. 21, for repaving.

The trail is expected to reopen by 5 p.m. at the latest, although it may reopen sooner if work is completed ahead of schedule.

During the closure, trail users may use the equestrian trail as an alternate route. Please note that the equestrian trail does not provide the same level of ADA access, and the alternate route may be challenging for people who require full ADA accessibility.

Thank you for your patience while we make improvements to the trail! 🚲🚶‍♀️🐴

Upcoming Repair Cafes!

We now have a volunteer that specializes in repairing sewing machines! No challenge is rejected by James, also known as StitcherFix, who will do his best to get your machine back in order.

Skipped stitches, tension drama, jammed bobbins, a machine that just doesn't sound right-- he'll help with it all.

Come to one of our upcoming Repair Cafe events to have your machine serviced. We'll be at Bothell City Hall on Saturday, September 26th from 10am to 2pm, and at Everett Community College on Thursday, October 15th from 10am to 2pm.

Corcoran Memorial Park playground is getting new surfacing! The playground will be closed and fenced off September 14-October 1* for the project to be completed. The pour-in-place surfacing requires dry conditions over 50 degrees to cure so it is really important that no one steps on it until it is completely cured or it will need to be redone and closed even longer.

Pardon our dust as we work to improve your parks!
📍 21 E Jonathan Rd Bothell, WA 98012

*Project dates are weather dependent.
