The renovated Snohomish County courthouse: Under budget and now open
EVERETT — Three years and $74.8 million later, the Snohomish County Courthouse renovation project is complete.
County Executive Dave Somers and other local officials cut a ribbon Thursday to celebrate the building and its new additions.
“This is a great day for Snohomish County and our residents,” Somers said. “The previous courthouse building, built in 1967, was seismically unsafe, risking a disaster in an earthquake. The elevators were notoriously unreliable, making our residents, particularly those with disabilities, have to wait and struggle to get to any higher floors.”
In addition to sprucing up the current campus, the project included a new five-story wing and another courtroom.
