Snohomish City Council to consider First Street Master Plan


The First Street Advisory Committee reviewed a draft of the First Street Master Plan and identified a preferred design concept at their February 18 meeting. The draft will be presented to the Snohomish City Council at their March 3 meeting (tonight!) for further consideration.

After City Council reviews the draft, it will return to the Advisory Committee for revisions. The Advisory Committee will make a final recommendation at their March 18 meeting, with City Council tentatively scheduled to vote on final adoption of the plan in April.

Meeting agendas for both the First Street Advisory Committee and Snohomish City Council are available in our Agenda Center. For questions or comments, please email masterplan@snohomishwa.gov.
