New road in Arlington will serve business park

A new road will be added to the grid in Arlington as part of a new business park planned for the old Northwest Hardwoods site.

The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board selected several projects submitted by the city of Arlington, including $2.3 million to build the new Arlington Valley Road.

The road is currently being designed by Reid-Middleton. The road will have a southern connection at 67th Avenue and 192nd Street and a northern connection onto 74th Avenue. The two-lane road will include a 12-foot wide trail and rain garden drainage.
