In and around all <br />centers, there will be change as areas <br />urbanize and new services, shops and <br />housing are developed. <br />The Urban Form element identifies three <br />types of centers that vary in size, scale, <br />service area, local versus regional role, and <br />density of residents and businesses. The <br />centers are shown on the urban framework <br />map. The three types of mixed-use centers <br />are in the table below. The community hubs <br />and neighborhood nodes will be reviewed <br />and delineated as part of future planning action. <br /> <br />Metropolitan Center <br />(Regional Growth Center) <br />Community Hubs <br />(Countywide Growth Centers) <br />Neighborhood Nodes <br />(local retail centers) <br />Metro Everett North Broadway <br />Evergreen Way/Casino Rd <br />Evergreen Way/41st St <br />Evergreen Way/Airport Rd <br />Mukilteo Blvd/View Ridge <br />Evergreen Way/50th St <br />Evergreen Way/Madison <br />Everett Mall <br />Silver Lake
