Sunset Beach Park, a pocket-sized piece of Lake Stevens access (410 E. Lake Stevens Rd.) was transferred to the City from Snohomish County two years ago — and after taking some time to evaluate, Lake Stevens is in the middle of upgrading this little gem of a beach with a makeover aimed at revitalize this property and providing a more inviting, accessible, and better utilized space for this historic pocket park.
With time comes intentionality, so the City leaned on consultants to pitch draft designs taking into consideration existing site features while addressing identified priorities: dock repairs, erosion control, parking, and accessibility.

Construction began midsummer and the park is scheduled to reopen Mid October. Plans for the Park renovation can be found here.
