Nailed It: Lake Stevens Library Construction Update

The new Lake Stevens Library is shaping up in the Chapel Hill neighborhood! With framing in full swing and walls going up, every nail and beam is a step towards your next favorite place to explore, learn, and grow.

Here’s a quick look at our progress:

  • Road regrading and repaving are complete, and the parking lot’s first asphalt layer is in place.
  • Shear walls (reinforced concrete walls that provide structural support) are well under way, giving the building its first vertical form.
  • Grading and shaping the land for construction and utility installation are nearly complete.
  • Structural steel and timber elements are being prepped offsite.
  • Coming Soon: Slab pour and site improvements, including landscaping and wetland buffer.

Construction of the two-story, 15,000-square-foot building is on track for completion in spring 2026. The designs for the new library building were inspired by community input with a focus on early learning and sustainability. Features will include an interactive children’s area, flexible public meeting rooms, study rooms, and usable outdoor space for community gathering and cozy reading.
