Snohomish County is in the very early stages of a Design Study for improvements to Seattle Hill Road between 132nd Street SE and 35th Avenue SE. The preliminary plan is to widen the roadway to three lanes, to add a center turn lane. Bike lanes, curb, and sidewalk are also included in the plan. The corridor is a significant route for Snohomish County residents, and has received intermittent improvements as development has occurred.

The process of developing road projects takes several years. Many factors must be considered. They include: location of homes and public right-of-way; wetlands, stormwater runoff, drainage and water quality; Critical Area Regulations (CAR); Design Standards; terrain; sight distance; soil compaction; traffic volumes; accident history; location of utilities; and information that residents provide about the area.

This web page will be updated over time as information is gathered and proposals are drafted. You can register to receive e-mail updates as information changes and meetings are scheduled.
