Press release from the Snohomish County Government: May 24, 2022 A portion of the Centennial Trail will be rededicated on Memorial Day in honor of Snohomish County residents who perished during the Global War on Terror (GWOT), 9/11/2001 to the present.

This important memorial has been in progress for a few years and has come to fruition with the collaboration of many entities, including Snohomish County leadership, the Snohomish County Art Commission, the City of Arlington, and others. A ceremony will take place at 9 am on 5/30/22 at Haller Bridge in Arlington. This press release was produced by the Snohomish County Government. The views expressed here are the author's own.
