One of Topgolf’s recently opened locations.
All indicators point towards Topgolf being the unannounced, secret, anchor tenant at the Everett Mall when The Hub @ Everett opens.
We’ve heard from three different readers who claim they have inside information. The mayor also announced, in her State of the City:
“In the next few days, I look forward to announcing a top new entertainment anchor that will be coming to the Everett Mall.”
Topgolf Renton Location Interior
The choice to use the word “Top” seems unnatural, likely a pun towards Topgolf.
The only Topgolf location in Washington State is in Renton, which opened in the summer of 2022.
That location is right next to Boeing’s Renton Facility. The Everett mall would only be 3.8 miles from the Boeing Everett Facility.
If you aren’t familiar with Topgolf, this is how they describe themselves:
Never been to a Topgolf venue? Think of it as a modern golf experience where anyone – including people who have never picked up a golf club and those who want to perfect their swing – can participate in the sport in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. You’ll take aim at giant targets on the field while playing virtual courses or Topgolf’s signature games like Angry Birds. And just so you know, Topgolf celebrates the bad shots just as much as the beautiful swings.
Portland Topgolf Range
Looking at Topgolf’s other locations and upcoming openings, it’s possible Everett could be its 100th outdoor location. Topgolf typically employs around 300 people they call “Playmakers.”
Hopefully we’ll hear more over the next few days to confirm if it will be Topgolf and where in the mall’s plans Topgolf would live.
Looking at project plans, there may be enough room in the remainder of the Sears structure, or something could be happening to the gym or the Burlington building. It’s also possible it would be a newly built structure.
