EVERETT 2044 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6/17/2025 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />URBAN FORM ELEMENT <br /> Page 18 <br />Employment Areas <br />Employment is clustered around the city in: <br />• Downtown, <br />• Harbor and Snohomish River waterfronts, <br />• North Everett, <br />• Everett Mall area, <br />• SW Everett/Paine Field Manufacturing/Industrial Center, and <br />the <br />• Major arterial corridors. <br />Each of these areas contribute to the economic growth and vitality <br />of the city and impact its urban form. <br />The Southwest Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC) is a critical <br />regional resource that provides economic diversity, supports <br />national and international trade, generates substantial revenue for <br />local governments, and offers higher than average wages. It is <br />anticipated that by 2037, there will be a Sound Transit light rail <br />station serving the employees and employers. <br />Everett’s Shoreline <br />Everett’s is located at the mouth of the Snohomish River and Port <br />Gardner Bay in Puget Sound. This intersection of the two water <br />bodies has a long, rich history of both human and ecological activity, <br />from a Native American fishing village to the Port of Everett’s deep- <br />water port supporting industrial, commercial, agricultural, <br />recreational, and military uses, including Naval Station Everett. The shoreline activities continue to <br />change and expand in variety. Waterfront and riverfront redevelopment currently includes mixed use <br />projects that offer a range of commercial services and housing where people can live, work, and enjoy a <br />waterfront setting with outstanding views, access to the water's edge, and opportunities to learn about <br />the cultural heritage of Port Gardner Bay. The land use and activities permitted along Everett’s <br />shorelines are controlled by the adopted October 2019, Shoreline Master Program.
