Centennial Trail - Arlington North
- Status
- Funded in 2005
The Snohomish County Centennial Trail - Arlington North adds nine miles of developed 12-foot paved multipurpose non-motorized recreational trail and a parallel 6-foot soft surface equestrian trail on County-owned abandoned railroad right-of-way north from City of Arlington to Skagit County. This adds to a 7-mile completed trail section between City of Snohomish and City of Lake Stevens and a 9-mile trail section currently under construction between City of Lake Stevens and City of Arlington. Planning/Engineering for the Arlington North section is 90% complete and the project has entered the permit process. The trail was master planned with the assistance of the Snohomish County Trail Coalition in 1996, is supported by the Cities of Arlington and Lake Stevens, local chambers of commerce, equestrians and bike organizations. The trail crosses the Stilliguamish River north of City of Arlington, provides linkage with the Whitehorse Trail, continues past Bryant Lake through the historic Town of Bryant, crosses Pilchuck Creek over a 280 ft. bridge at the historic Town of Pilchuck, and heads through forested rural areas to a 100-acre trailhead property at the Skagit County line, connecting with Skagit County's Centennial Trail. The health, recreational, and environmental benefits of non-motorized trails are well documented. Snohomish County has recognized those benefits and prioritized Centennial Trail construction in its Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan, its Capital Facilities Plan and Capital Improvements Plan.
