Port of Everett – Historical Interpretive Program
Change on the Everett waterfront came at lightning speed since the European settlement of the land. From a raucous union town with lumber and shingle mills, to a key role in the commercial fishing and boat building industries, Everett has a story to tell. The Port of Everett took on the role of telling that story when it began redeveloping the location for commercial and industrial use to better fit the 21st century, while restoring the environmental landscape of the site. The Historical Interpretive Program was a $400,000 project that involved the filming of 11 oral histories, development of a new website and the installation of multiple interpretive and life-size displays along the Everett waterfront. The public has engaged with this project since its installation, making the investment in time and resources worthwhile. The interpretive exhibits have been used by school groups and the oral histories were used in the brand story development and naming for the port’s new mixed use development – Waterfront Place Central.
