Summary
The Snohomish County Fire District #4 new Fire Station #42 project will feature 10,500 SF of station space to support both emergency operations and personnel wellness. The facility will house three (3) apparatus bays with strategically positioned support spaces including bunker gear storage, decontamination room, air compressor, shop, and storage areas - all designed for immediate accessibility during emergency responses. Four (4) individual dorms with direct apparatus bay access ensures rapid deployment capabilities. The new station will be constructed on the District's existing 4.4-acre site, with the current facility remaining operational until the new building is complete. Comprehensive crew living spaces include three (3) individual restroom/shower facilities, an exercise room, laundry, study room, kitchen/dining area, and day room, creating a supportive environment for extended shifts. Administrative functions are accommodated through a station office, report room, small lobby, and public restroom, while essential building systems spaces ensure efficient operations. Environmental considerations are being carefully addressed, with wetlands studies confirming the new station can be positioned outside required setback areas, demonstrating the District's commitment to both community safety and environmental stewardship. The existing station will be demolished upon completion of the new station. Some equipment/infrastructure will be re-purposed.
