3 7) The entire area contained within Everett Avenue to 23rd Street on the south and north, and Broadway to Hoyt on the east and west (which includes Clark Park and the Everett High School campus; and 8) The entire area of Everett Mall Way from Evergreen Way to SR-526, and two blocks north and south of Everett Mall Way. 9) The entire area that makes up Senator Henry M. Jackson Park contained within 18th street to 16th street on the south and north, and Walnut Street and East Marine View Drive on the east and west, excluding any area within those boundaries that are not City of Everett Park Property. Based upon the same data and experiences noted above, it is my recommendation the following current SODA zone be removed during this process: 1. The entire area that makes up Wiggums Hollow Park contained within 12 th street to 10th street on the south and north, and Poplar street and Pine street on the east and west, excluding any areas within those boundaries that are not City of Everett Park Property. This park has only had three drug related arrests over the past two-year period (2023-2024), as shown in slide 11. Additionally, it is not the source of frequent narcotic-related complaints that are referred to our respective units relative to the other areas that are recommended for inclusion. It is my opinion that based upon the data, and our combined experience, that this park should be removed from the current SODA boundaries. Based upon the experience of Sgt Wallace and the Community Response Unit he supervises; it is my recommendation that the following area be added to the current SODA boundaries. 1. The entire area extending from the 1000 block of North Broadway Ave to the intersection of Marine View Drive, and two blocks east and west of this area of Broadway Avenue, and one block north of Marine View Dr. The 700-1000 block of Broadway was previously included in past SODA boundaries but was removed during the 2021 review process due to ongoing commercial development in the area and a decreased frequency of narcotic related contacts. The data from 2023 -2024 shows an increased number of arrests in this area. Sgt Wallace advised that his unit is routinely receiving complaints about areas within the above-described boundary and have seen drug/narcotic activity firsthand that warrants its re-inclusion. My recommendation is to extend the boundary from the 700 block further north to the intersection of Marine View Drive to account for the wooded areas to the north that have been the source of quality of life crime complaints that the CRT unit responds to.
