A weekly Teen Night provides games, music, food and movies, and the High School Swimming Pool is home to a competitive swim team. Evenings and weekends the pool is open to all in the community at a very low cost. The District's mission is to ensure a safe, challenging learning environment that nurtures self-esteem and provides all students the knowledge and skills to become productive, fulfilled and responsible members of society. Five elementary schools, two middle schools and the newly enlarged high school are strongly supported by local voters at election time, and by volunteer helpers in the classroom. Each area offers grocery, hardware and a wide variety of retail shops, excellent eating establishments, health care facilities, garden supplies, and offices for insurance and real estate agents and the myriad of professional services necessary to serve an active populace.
Small businesses prosper and contribute immeasurably to the well-being of the community.
Two developing industrial parks offer employment close to home. The climate is moderate, tempered by its proximity to Puget Sound and its cooling summer breezes.

Five public parks grace the shores of Lake Stevens, and two of them provide launching facilities and docks for small boats. Lundeen park has a wide beach and a shallow protected swim area that is perfect for children.
