2014/12/03 Council Agenda Packet

Avenue, Pacific Avenue and Maple Street to Everett Avenue and thence to East Grand Avenue. Perhaps a few hundred folks regularly frequent Everett's perimeter view trail — taking in the river, the vast and deep sound, and our two mountain ranges. But there is a problem — no one knows what to call it ! Once, this route from the historic Lowell community on the river around to historic Junction Beach on the bay was packed with living, breathing, smoking and howling manufacturing plants producing ships, all forms of lumber products, shakes and shingles, doors, and several giant pulp and paper mills. Everett lumber and paper products have been marketed around the world for most of the last 110 years. In fact, Everett contained so many lumber, shingle and paper mills in the past that it proudly adopted the title "City of Smokestacks". A major by product of all this production was sawdust, millions of cubic yards of the stuff, and even that never went to waste, heating Everett homes for several decades. Therefore, we the undersigned propose that the title SAWDUST TRAIL be established, posted, proclaimed and marketed as the formal name of Everett's scenic perimeter view trail. SAWDUST TRAIL shall commence at Everett Avenue and East Grand Avenue- and run north along East Grand and East Marine View Drive, connect to West Marine View Drive at American Legion Park- and continue south to Hewitt Avenue and then along Bond Street to historic and beautiful Junction Beach.
