Secured $23 Million in Grants for Woodinville
Woodinville makes every tax dollar count by securing federal, state, and county grants that stretch local revenue and fund projects with real impact on how we live, work, play, and move around the city.
Well-planned transportation is vital for Woodinville’s future, but it’s expensive, complex, and requires strong partnerships with neighboring cities, King County, and the State. That’s why I fought for a comprehensive Transportation Plan, providing a strategic framework for smart investments over the next 20 years.
Through this plan, and with strong community input, we’ve already secured $23.9 million in grants to improve roads, sidewalks, trails, and salmon recovery. These investments stretch our local dollars further while delivering projects that will make a real, lasting difference.
Key projects funded by these grants include:
Grid roads + roundabouts – For the first time in decades, we’re building grid roads off 175th to ease congestion, plus roundabouts to reduce wait times and improve safety.
Trestle widening + new bridge – Fixing the trestle and widening SR202 to improve traffic flow and support downtown’s growth, while adding a new bridge for the Eastrail trail.
Sidewalk + trail connections – Linking neighborhoods with safer pedestrian routes and enhancing bike/pedestrian access through Eastrail upgrades.
Environmental + salmon recovery projects – Funding culvert replacement, stormwater improvements, and watershed stewardship to protect our environment.
City + community investments – Projects like City Hall’s solar installation, water quality monitoring, and trailhead enhancements to support both sustainability and recreation.
Here’s a breakdown of where the $23.9 million in grants is going:
In July 2025, we broke ground on the new 133rd Ave NE grid road extension and roundabout.

By strategically planning and securing outside funding, we’re ensuring residents, businesses, and visitors spend less time stuck in traffic and more time enjoying everything Woodinville has to offer.
