April 2018 Update
The design phase for the North Creek Regional Trail project is anticipated to be finished during 2018. Snohomish County Public Works was recently awarded a $1 million construction grant for this project from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office.
Description
The North Creek Regional Trail will be located between SR 524 and 183rd St SE, west of Bothell-Everett Highway. This trail will become part of a coordinated regional system that will eventually connect the Sammamish River Burke-Gillman Trail in King County with the Snohomish County Regional Interurban Trail in Everett. This segment of the regional trail will be located west of Bothell-Everett Highway (SR 527), east of North Road and north of 208th Street SE.
The project will be constructed in three phases:
- Phase I - State Route 524 to Sprague Rd - $5.5 million
- Phase II - Pedestrian bridge structure - $7.5 million
- Phase III - Waxen Rd to 183rd St SE - $5 million
Elevated Structure
A new elevated structure will be built between Sprague Drive and 192nd Street SE. This structure will create a passage over North Creek. It will also connect North Creek Trail to the North Creek Park. This structure will be nearly a quarter mile long and will be elevated an estimated 20 to 40 feet above ground. Renderings of the design for the structure can be viewed here.
Parking
Plans are being prepared for three parking areas located along the North Creek Trail. View the map showing the locations of the proposed parking areas.
