LAKE STEVENS – The skyline atop Chapel Hill is changing as the future Lake Stevens Library transitions from blueprints to a physical landmark.

As of yesterday, January 19, 2026, construction has progressed significantly, with a free-standing two story structure now visible on the lot, after Sno-Isle installed cross-laminated timber walls in late November.

Workers are currently in the process of integrating utilities and HVAC into the site infrastructure.

Over the summer, significant progress occurred on the two-story, 15,000-square-foot building.

By September, the building’s concrete slab foundation was completed and steel columns and beams were erected as the cross-laminated timber was built to order.

Sno-Isle officials are currently focused on internal refinements, including the selection of furniture, shelving, and interactive features for the dedicated children’s wing.

Recent progress has the library on track for a tentative grand opening
