Snohomish County exec proposes 2-year, $3B budget
EVERETT — Snohomish County kicked off its budget process Wednesday, as Executive Dave Somers released his recommended budget, one that will spend less each of the next two years than in 2024.
The county is taking a different approach this year. Leaders will approve a two-year budget for 2025 and 2026, rather than the usual annual budget.
“We think that this will allow us to realize some efficiencies and provide a longer planning framework for departments and offices, allowing us to stay strategically ambitious and yet realistic,” Somers told the Snohomish County Council in a budget presentation Wednesday.
The proposed budget for 2025 is $1.54 billion, with 2026 at $1.51 billion. This year’s budget was about $1.6 billion.
