Swifty Creek is conveyed in a 24-inch storm pipe from Second Street to the Snohomish River, located mostly on private property and inaccessible to City staff. This project consists of constructing approximately 1,100 linear feet of 36-inch storm pipe and connecting the existing storm system. These improvements from Second Street (east of Cedar Avenue), south along Glen Avenue, Union Avenue to First Street, will help Swifty Creek flow conveyance and reduce property flooding.
On April 4, 2023, drilling will occur on Union Avenue north of First Street, Glen Avenue south of Second Street, and Glen Avenue north of Second Street. The drilling is for the Swifty Creek Storm Improvement Project soils investigation.
Design and permitting will take place in 2023-2024, with construction scheduled to begin in 2025.
