Snohomish County to fund 360 new child care slots

EVERETT — Soon there will be about 360 new child care slots to address an urgent need in Snohomish County, the county executive announced Thursday.

That’s thanks to a $7.6 million investment of the county’s American Rescue Plan Act dollars.

Child care is more scarce in Snohomish County than the state as a whole, with only 62 slots for every 100 pre-K children compared to the state’s 79, according to data from Child Care Aware cited by the county.

The slots will last for at least 20 years, County Executive Dave Somers said.
