Slurry Seal - Maywood Hills/Norway Hill

A slurry seal is a method of pavement preservation to extend the lifespan of heavily traveled local roads. Crews are expected to start slurry sealing in Maywood Hills and Norway Hill on Aug. 11, depending on weather. Each road will be completely closed for one day from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. while work is completed. Residents on affected roads can expect to see door hangers and on-street signage indicating which day their street will be worked on. Access will be maintained for emergency vehicles only. Residents who need access to their vehicles should park on unaffected side streets.

Household Hazardous Waste

Stop by the Wastemobile to dispose of unwanted, unused, and old household hazardous waste products from August 21 – 23 between 10am and 5pm at McMurtrey’s Tree Farm in Redmond.

Wildfire Smoke

Wildfire season is upon us! Wildfire smoke can cause respiratory symptoms and is especially harmful for children, pregnant women and people who are over 65. If you have an underlying health condition or COVID-19, breathing wildfire smoke can make it worse. Smoke can also weaken your immune system which may make you more likely to get COVID-19. Check air quality updates and if you are around wildfire smoke this summer, stay indoors and follow recommendations here:

Bark and Brush Fire Prevention

Our firefighters have prepared for brush and bark fire season and you can too! Help us prevent brush fires by removing dead plants and other dry vegetation from around your home, keeping your grass mowed, by frequently checking the burn ban status and by never leaving an outdoor fire unattended.

Special Notice: Burn bans are in effect for unincorporated areas of King and Snohomish Counties until further notice.
Stay safe this summer!

Recycle Shipping Materials

Have you been ordering more online lately? Shipping materials like bubble wrap, air cushions, and plastic envelopes lined with bubble wrap cannot be recycled in curbside containers. Instead, recycle these items in the special collection drop box outside of City Hall through the end of August.
