Snohomish County receives $1.6 million in grants from the state to improve park accessibility

EVERETT — Snohomish County Parks & Recreation recently awarded more than $1.6 million in grant funding to support major upgrades at several parks across the county.

The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office awarded a $500,000 Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account Grant, a press release said, to fund the Dock and Waterfront Access Project in Flowing Lake County Park and Campground near Snohomish.

The project aims to improve the accessibility of the park’s waterfront areas for all people, including those using mobility devices. Workers will replace a floating dock, construct an accessible kayak launch and create opportunities for accessible fishing and swimming.

Construction is on track to be completed in late 2026.
