Online Trail User Survey
This survey is an important tool for learning about how people use the Centennial Trail. The goals of the survey are to develop a trail user profile, look for safety hazards, discover specific ways people use the Centennial Trail, and determine how the trail system benefits the communities it serves. The information gathered by the survey will help the Snohomish County Parks Department to plan for future improvements to the existing trail and to develop other funding sources such as grants for future trail connections to other parts of the community. Your feedback and input is appreciated.
