Everett City Council approved funding to purchase four properties at the heart of the Outdoor Event Center project on July 15, 2026, securing 11 of 17 total properties needed for the development.
The properties include Lot 1 (2201 Pacific), Lot 2 (2202-2204 Wall St), Lot 3 (2121 Pacific), and Lot 5 (3008 McDougall). The project will be funded in part by a $7. 4 million Washington State Department of Commerce grant and will host the Everett AquaSox and a new USL Soccer team, with construction expected to begin in early fall 2026.
