The full length of the Sumner Link Trail is closed the full week of February 10 from Traffic Avenue to Stewart Road (8th Street). We still have standing water in places from last week’s flooding, and we have a lot of work to drain and clean the trails before we Read more…
A lot of people want to park in Sumner. With an active downtown, businesses need parking for employees and customers. Residents need parking to access their homes, have guests over or get work done on their property during the day. And with a regional transit station, commuters need parking to access Read more…
We have a water main leaking under Main Street where it crosses the railroad tracks. In order to make repairs, we will be shutting down Main Street in evenings starting January 13. We expect this project to last about two weeks. Each morning, the road will reopen by about 5 Read more…
Fund 166th/SR410 Interchange Design We’ve done it once, and we need to do it again. With Traffic Avenue, Sumner demonstrated how smart cities can use State investments to build public-private partnerships funding WSDOT interchanges improvements for a fraction of what it would cost the State to fully fund in the Read more…

The Puyallup Herald and Q13 recently featured the proposed pedestrian bridge that could connect the Rivergrove neighborhood back to the Sounder Station, schools, parks and other amenities without relying on congested SR 162. Click here to read The Puyallup Herald article. And from Q13:
