“Metro Everett” is a diverse and large area, over one square mile, and includes the downtown business district, Everett station area, portions of the Broadway corridor, and surrounding commercial and residential areas.
Everett’s population is expected to grow at an unprecedented rate in the next twenty years based on existing city limits. And with previous direction from citizens and from Puget Sound Regional Council, a significant portion of the projected growth is expected to occur in the Metropolitan Center. This planning process will result in a subarea plan for the Metropolitan Center and will address population, housing and employment targets, policies and potential land-use regulations for the area.
Tonight the Everett Planning Commission will hold a workshop to review the Livability Profile, including identification of goals and priorities. Their meeting happens between 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM in the Everett City Council chambers at 3002 Wetmore in downtown Everett. The public is invited tonight’s meeting and the city will be scheduling more public workshops and outreach on the Metro Everett plan in the coming months. You can get an initial look at how that will happen here.
