  • Snowy @cityofsumnerwa this morning! #sumnersnowday ❄️ #sumnerwashington #sumnerwa #98390 #sumnertownusa
  • We woke up to a few snowflakes falling this morning, and a few more may again be in the forecast. If we do get more snow like in this picture from 2008, here are responses to some common snow-related questions we’ve received: What roads do you plow first? First Priority: Forest Canyon Rd., Sumner-Tapps Highway, Traffic Ave. and 24th St. interchange with SR 167. Second Priority: all bridges including 142nd Ave. E and Cannery Way. Third Priority: the rest of 24th St., 142nd Ave E, East Valley and West Valley Highways. Fourth Priority: Main St., Valley Ave., Puyallup St. and Fryar Ave. Why don’t you plow my street too? Plowing works great for vehicles on the road but not so great for trying to get onto a roadway. Plows actually do not remove snow but push it to the side, making a wall of snow in front of driveways. Plowing side streets, especially those with a lot of residential homes, tends to trap people in more than help them get out. Why don’t you shovel my sidewalk? City has limited staffing. Weather events like snow usually mean long shifts just to keep up with our roads. We leave the sidewalks to you! What if my pipes freeze? Call City Shops to come turn off your water meter for you. Most residents panic in this situation and break the meter, trying to turn it off themselves in a hurry. You don’t need that extra hassle and expense of replacing your meter. Call us first at 253-299-5740! More info can always be found on our website at www.sumnerwa.gov Also, make sure to take some good snow photos and tag us @cityofsumnerwa #sumnersnowday so we can share them, too! ❄️☃️ #sumnerwashington #sumnerwa #98390happyplace #98390 #rhubarbpiecapital #sumnersnowday
