15 Million bottles of Everett Water per Month (about 2 million gallons) is about to go to Japan.

In his State of the County speech this morning Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon announced that Evergreen Bottling will be building a plant along the Snohomish River to make water based beverages for export to Japan and Asian markets. Reardon, who is running for re-election later this year, made his 8th State of the County address to a meeting of the Everett Chamber of Commerce.
