Public Safety & City Services Campus

Over the past five years, the City has been looking for property to move their facilities to one area, making it easier for the community to access services, as well as take care of a need for more space. Partnering with Snohomish Fire District 4 allows for two projects to be combined to better serve out community. The entire campus is slated to be complete by the end of 2027.

The new 42,000-square-foot City Hall and Police Department will be constructed in 2026 and 2027. Work will begin on the new fire station beginning in 2025.

2023 Campus Rendering

I am excited at the prospect of bringing all of our agencies together because we are all focused on the mission of serving the Snohomish community. Sharing a campus will use taxpayer funds more effectively as we plan for the future of Snohomish, maintain the levels of service our community expects, and respond more cohesively in the event of an emergency.

-Snohomish Mayor Linda Redmon

The Fire District is in dire need of new facilities, not only to provide the current level of service, but to plan for the future and to provide for firefighter safety. Moving in this direction allows us to centralize our services within the District, while partnering with the City to make it more cost effective for taxpayers.

-Snohomish Fire District 4 Chief Don Waller

The City of Snohomish and Fire District No. 4 have had a long-standing partnership. This venture continues that with an opportunity to collaborate between fire, police, and City services in a way that benefits the people and businesses of Snohomish.

-Heather Thomas, Snohomish City Administrator
