2026 LTAC grants

The City of Everett, Washington, has announced a $200,000 LTAC grant pool for 2026, with a focus on operational support for tourism initiatives. Applications must be submitted by December 15, 2025, as the city adjusts funding levels in line with typical lodging activity after a recent surge in tourism. Marketing-only applications will not be accepted; applicants seeking marketing support should apply to the Snohomish County Tourism Promotion Area Grant Program instead. The city expects increased visitor numbers ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, highlighting the importance of these grants for local tourism. The LTAC meeting will occur in early January 2026, with award announcements expected by the end of January.

Grant performance will cover the period from January 1 to December 31, 2026. All funding decisions will be subject to approval by the Everett City Council. This grant cycle reflects the city's ongoing commitment to enhancing tourism and visitor experiences in the region.
