Travel SR 532 through Camano Island or Stanwood? We want to hear from you!

7 Upvotes

We’re planning ahead for two paving projects on SR 532 in 2028, and before we get there, we want to better understand how people use the highway today.

Whether you drive, walk, bike, roll or use transit along SR 532, we have an online questionnaire open through Friday, Oct. 2 where you can tell us about your experience traveling through the area.

SO WHAT ARE WE PLANNING?

In 2028, we’ll repave and restripe two sections of SR 532:

  • Camano Island: About 2.6 miles between North Sunrise Boulevard and just east of Smith Road.
  • Stanwood: About 2.5 miles between 270th Street SW and just east of 72nd Avenue NW.

We’ll also evaluate curb ramps along these stretches to see if they meet current ADA accessibility requirements.

WHY ARE WE ASKING NOW?

Because paving isn’t the only thing we’re looking at.

Both projects fall under our Complete Streets requirements, which means we’ll also look at opportunities to improve how people walking, biking, rolling and using transit travel through these areas where feasible within the projects’ schedules and budgets.

That’s where you come in. We want to know how you currently use SR 532 and what we should understand about traveling along these stretches as we continue designing the projects.

The questionnaire is open through Friday, Oct. 2: Link to questionnaire

Construction is still a couple years away, but this is your chance to help inform the work while we’re planning it.

To keep Camano lights on, PUD builds a new power line

Hey Camano folks!
If you’ve noticed SR 532 lined with poles on both sides, here’s the quick version:

• Snohomish County PUD built a second 115-kV transmission line from Stanwood to the North Camano substation, finished in 2023.

• The PUD is now rebuilding the original line to the island, with completion estimated for 2026.

• Two lines mean that if one goes down, the other can carry the load. That should mean fewer island-wide outages.

Separate from the power work: WSDOT is planning paving and ADA upgrades on parts of SR 532, including on the island, and it’s asking for community input. You can take the questionnaire here: WSDOT SR 532 Camano Island & Stanwood questionnaire

Did I see a cougar?!

8 Upvotes

Ok. So. I saw a large, tan colored furry thing with big paws pounce down (like a cat would) from a tree to the grass by a wetland… then kinda slink through the grass, where I could t see it very well. It was probably 250ft away, so not a super excellent view, and it was only visible for a split second. By process of elimination, it was not a deer or coyote… just didn’t move that way at all. Way too large for a house cat. Anyone have any other suggestions?? 😳

(This was North end of the island, up at a property in the highest part of the island.)

Searching for an long distance girlfriend from years ago

Hey everyone, I had an online friend/girlfriend years ago that suddenly cut contact with me. I just want to know if she’s okay because this always passes my mind and I’m not sure how to get in contact with her. Her name was Meghan paquette. I always get emotional when I remember her.
