Nice park, however I would like to see all of it open free to the schools. I thought it was sadd there was part closed off that was a pay area $10 -15 per person to get in. During the school year it should allow students free access. Would be a great way to support our youth and community.

A perfect restored natural oasis in the midst of the busy and over developed I-5 corridor! The elevated walkway is designed to provide access to all. The Nature Store is a great source for educational gifts.

Top notch natural area with lots of educational information on the importance of streams to the Pacific Northwest environment. A nice gift center as well.
From Adopt A Stream Foundation and Northwest Stream Center
The Northwest Stream Center is an environmental learning facility in South Everett located just east of Interstate 5 in Snohomish County's McCollum Park. The Center includes a 1/2 mile universally accessible Nature Walk past a Trout Stream Exhibit where you can see trout, crayfish, sculpin and fresh water mussels through viewing windows. The Foundation maintains an incredible Forest and Wetland Trail that winds through 20 acres of habitat, three feet above the forest floor with an opportunity to learn all about NW ecology along the way. The center also features a small Nature Gift Shop, and hosts environmental education classes conducted by adjunct professors year round. Tours and private facility rentals are available by reservation.
