So far, where has Snohomish County's ARPA money gone?
EVERETT — The county has spent nearly a third of its $160 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding it received in federal pandemic relief.
The money has gone to child care, food banks, small business support and elsewhere.
The county has designated another $20 million but has yet to spend it, county spokesperson Kelsey Nyland said in an email. Between Jan. 1 and June 30 of this year, the county spent $11.3 million.
All funds have to be “obligated,” or designated, by 2024 and spent by 2026, according to the U.S. Treasury.
