City of Everett Outdoor Multipurpose Facility Project

The City of Everett is actively assessing options for a new outdoor multipurpose facility due to updated Major League Baseball regulations affecting the Everett AquaSox, a key element of the local sports culture. This project is vital to preserving the AquaSox's presence in the community for years to come and ensuring that the facility meets modern standards. A public hearing is scheduled for December 18, 2024, where community members are encouraged to provide feedback and engage in dialogue about the development. The city has recently held a community information session to share insights and gather input from residents. To facilitate transparency and public involvement, the City has released a Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS), adhering to the requirements set forth by the Washington State Environmental Policy Act.

Residents and stakeholders are invited to review the Final EIS, which is accessible online or through printed copies available at the City Clerk's Office. This initiative underscores the importance of local sports and community engagement in city planning. By prioritizing public input, the City of Everett aims to create a facility that benefits both the AquaSox and the broader community.
