Civic Ambassadors
We need to hear from all voices as we develop the periodic update to provide for an equal opportunity all community perspectives to be considered. Our Civic Ambassadors broaden the City’s reach by engaging with their friends, neighbors, and associates, and championing for full, well-informed engagement and participation.
Civic Ambassadors receive special training and support from city staff in order to be successful and effective. Ambassadors volunteer and attend at various community events to help share information and collect feedback.
Keep your eye out for this group, and strike up a conversation about planning for the future of Snohomish!

Kids Design Snohomish program
The children of Snohomish will be in charge by the year 2044, so we believe they should have a say in what their city will be like. Kids attending public events have been asked to design their “ideal Snohomish” using wooden blocks. They have very specific ideas about what they want to see in their town when they grow up, and staff is listening!
Staff will also be workng with children in the classrooms about future planning, civic engagement, how the city is run, and mapping plans and ideas. If you have a child in the Snohomish School District, be sure to ask them about this exciting partnership!
Our Future Snohomish Carnival and Open House
The Our Future Snohomish Carnival and Open House was held on Saturday, July 22nd. There were fun activities, games, art projects, races, and an obstacle course! About 150 people showed up and learned about the Comprehensive Plan, and they provided lots of great input about the future of our Snohomish!
Each event offered an opportunity to learn something about the Comprehensive Plan and a function of the City. A traditional open house environment was also offered inside the Carnegie building.
See some of the pictures from this fun event below. And if you missed it, don't worry! You can still fill out a survey (liked at the top of this page).
