Three Parties Agree to Multi-Year Agreement to Host GeekFest West in Everett

GeekFest West will be hosted in Everett, WA, for the next three years, thanks to a landmark agreement among Courtyard Media Foundation, the City of Everett, and Angel Of The Winds Arena. Scheduled for July 18-20, 2025, the festival aims to solidify Everett's status as the permanent home for this celebrated event, which drew over 8,000 attendees last year. The multi-day extravaganza will feature a diverse range of activities, including cosmic cosplay, gaming tournaments, and screenings of classic sci-fi films. The venues rented under the agreement, including Angel Of The Winds Arena and the Everett Community Ice Rink, will enable the festival to grow into the largest geek event in Snohomish County. Local officials, such as Mayor Cassie Franklin and Tyler Chism, have highlighted the event's potential to attract visitors and stimulate the local economy.

Badges for the event have just gone on sale, with prices tailored to different age groups and attendance days. GeekFest West promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of all things geeky, fostering a vibrant community atmosphere. As excitement builds for the 2025 festival, the organizers anticipate even greater participation and engagement from the local and regional geek communities.
