We had the best time getting to watch our Seattle FITErs do their thing last night! Roller derby with Myra and Sage. Myra…better knows as… FLAMING DIVA even received the MVP best blocker award 🥇
Way to go FITErs, we are so proud of you 💪
We’ve made some updates!
With our *50th ANNIVERSARY* quickly approaching, we wanted to share some updates you may see around our campus and share how far we have come!
We have refreshed for the future and made some changes in our logo, but we are still same place! We have also made an update to our sign in the front of our building, making it much more visible.
We wanted to take a moment to show you how far we have truly come since the dream of Sno-Isle TECH came to fruition! The first sign in the photos is back from 1977 when Sno-Isle TECH first began. It began with offering the following 17 programs: Auto Mechanics, Advanced Business & Office, Construction Trades, Cosmetology, Custodial, Data Accounting, Dental Assistant, Electronics/Electricity, Engineering Aide/Drafting, Food Preparation, Horticulture/Landscaping, Machine Trades, Medical Office Assistant, Nursing Aides/Orderlies, Plastics, Veterinarian Aide/Animal Care, Welding. These programs at the time were only available to 9 districts around the county.
The second photo is the sign now in 2026, 49 years later! Our school now houses the following 25 programs: Animation, Computers Servers & Networking, Electronics Engineering Technology, Video Game Design, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts Management & Operations, Culinary Arts Baking & Pastry, Culinary Arts Production & Service, Fashion & Merchandising, Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, Nursing Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Veterinary Assisting, Criminal Justice, Fire Service Tech, Early Childhood Education, Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace Manufacturing, Auto Body & Collision, Automotive Technology, Construction Trades, Diesel Power Technology, Welding & Metal Fabrication. These programs are now available to all high schools around Snohomish County & South Island County, totaling 15 districts!
Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center has been providing opportunities and launching careers for nearly 50 years and we can’t wait to see what the next 50 brings!
Stay tuned as we begin planning our 50th Anniversary celebration, open to all alumni and past Sno-Isle TECH employees and community partners! Thank you all for supporting us and our students!

CBTECH Criminal Justice students spent an extensive amount of time practicing handcuffing this past week. A skill that is critical in this field.
We love it when our New Market students use their skills to support another student!
Just FYI. The previously scheduled Building Dedication set for Jan 27th has been rescheduled for February 24, due to scheduling conflicts with guests.

🛠️ Guest Speaker Spotlight!
NCTA Construction Program students had the opportunity to learn from Lisa Marx, a valued member of the NCTA Technical Advisory Committee Board and a representative from the Western States Council of Carpenters.
Lisa shared insight into the many career paths under the Carpenters program umbrella, including specialties like Millwrights and Infectious Disease Risk Assessment—opening students’ eyes to the wide range of opportunities available in the trade.
This marks Lisa’s third year guest speaking with our students, and we’re grateful for her continued support and commitment to career-connected learning!

Ethan is a student in the Engineering class at CBTECH. He is an excellent designer in the 3D printing field. Ethan was able to use his skills to assist Mr. Oliver recently by creating a cup holder attachment for Mr.Oliver's favorite coffee mug, making Mr. Oliver's morning commute so much better.
