Warm Beach: New flashing beacons

Snohomish County has installed new flashing beacons at a crosswalk on Marine Drive near 204th Street NE, south of Stanwood.

The crossing is in front of a senior community north of a curve in the road.

The beacons sit on poles at either end of the crosswalk. A pedestrian turns them on by pressing a button on one of the poles, causing the beacons to flash to alert drivers in both directions.

The flashing beacons are the first of their kind in Snohomish County. The work cost $45,000.
