Transportation package could bring $600M to Snohomish County
Snohomish County could see $600 million in state investments out of Democrats’ 16-year, $16.8 billion transportation package proposal.
That’s about $2.6 billion short of what Snohomish County leaders have on their wish list.
The proposal from transportation committee leaders Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, and Rep. Jake Fey, D-Tacoma, includes design and engineering work on the U.S. 2 trestle replacement, expanded bus services, fare-free transit for riders 18 and younger, state culvert replacements, an upgraded ferry terminal and widening part of Highway 522.
Democrats plan to pay for it without a gas tax increase.
