On July 16, 2024, the City of Lynnwood celebrated the completion of Phase 2 of the Scriber Creek Trail Improvements with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by local, state, and federal officials. The new developments involved significant upgrades to approximately 5,000 linear feet of walking paths, converting the trail into a vital non-motorized transportation route.

The project was funded through partnerships with Sound Transit and various state and federal grants, showcasing a collaborative effort for community development.
