I <br />EVERETT <br />WASHINGTON <br />RESOLUTION NO. <br />A RESOLUTION placing the "Swartout House" at 3609 26th St. on the Everett Register of <br />Historic Places <br />WHEREAS, <br />1. The City of Everett adopted Ordinance 1355-87 (amended 1956-93) authorizing the <br />Everett Historical Commission to consider the merits of properties for placement on the <br />Everett Register of Historic Places and to recommend to the Everett City Council that <br />properties be placed on the Everett Register; and <br />The owner of property at 3609 26th St. has requested that the home be placed on the <br />Everett Register of Historic Places; and <br />3. The Everett Historical Commission reviewed the request, held a public hearing on June <br />25, 2019, and determined that the Swartout House, built in 1892, is at least 50 years old <br />and eligible for consideration to be added to the Everett Register of Historic Places; and <br />4. EMC 2.96.050 identifies several categories in which a building would be considered <br />eligible for the Everett Register of Historic Places if it meets at least one of those <br />categories; and <br />5.

The original owner, Mr. Melvin Swartout, was a local leader serving as president of the <br />Everett Home Building Association with ties to the Bank of Everett. Mr. Swartout also <br />served as a trustee for the Mitchell Land and Improvement Company; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND EVERETT CITY COUNCIL THAT: <br />
