Safe Kids, Improved Pathways (SKIP)

In partnership with local school districts, Snohomish County designed, constructed and funded 48 projects that provide children safe, accessible pathways to the 34 elementary schools in unincorporated Snohomish County. The projects were constructed from 2014 through 2018 and included widening shoulders, installing crosswalks and crossing beacons, and filling in gaps in walkways within one mile of elementary schools.
