Metro Everett Center Plan

Livability Profile This is one of several profiles of Metro Everett, an area that spans from I-5 on the east to Port Gardner Bay on the west, and roughly 24th St in the north to 36th St in the south. This area includes the central business district and Everett Station, as well as surrounding residential neighborhoods.

Metro Everett is the heart of the community and most visible indicator of community pride and its economic and social health. Metro Everett has both assets and challenges in the City’s effort to retain and attract residents, businesses and industries, retirees, tourists, and others to live, work and visit. For many people, Metro Everett represents the community's heritage, growth trends and quality of life that will establish Everett’s image in the new millennium

It is anticipated that the Metro Everett area will accommodate an increasing percentage of new growth in people and jobs over the next twenty years. This increase helps support the public’s investment in public facilities and services, such as light rail and rapid bus service, as well as minimizing our impact on the environment and nearby single family residential communities.

This profile focuses on who lives in “Metro Everett.” For more information and to stay involved, please go to www.everettwa.gov/metro and make sure to subscribe to Metro Everett’s News Flash service.

WHO LIVES HERE? Most major urban centers attract a slightly greater population than the surrounding community. Some cities see their urban center decaying, with significantly higher rates of poverty than other parts of the community. Other cities see their urban center gentrifying, attracting higher wage earners that push out lower income groups. Metro Everett is slightly distinct from the overall Figure 1: Age of Population in Everett and Metro Block Groups 85 years and over characteristics of the City. 80 to 84 years 75 to 79 years 70 to 74 years 67 to 69 years Age 65 and 66 years 62 to 64 years There are some clear differences in the age 60 and 61 years 55 to 59 years 50 to 54 years cohorts of those that live in Metro Everett 45 to 49 years 40 to 44 years from the City as a whole.

Affordability Housing affordability is measured as a percent of gross household income spent on household expenses, with 30% being the typical measure of affordability; paying over 50% of your income on household expenses is considered a severe housing cost burden. Current data indicates there are some block groups in Metro Everett where households are paying more than 35% of their income towards rent.

Based on 2015 HUD income limits for Snohomish County, the following table identifies the affordable housing costs based on income and household size. For reference, the current minimum wage is $9.47 per hour. A person working full time at minimum wage would earn $19,698 annually, slightly more than 30% Area Median Income (AMI). This person’s household costs should not exceed $492 per month.

There currently is little inventory of housing units for sale in Metro Everett. Looking at three different sources (Zillow, Realtor.com, and JohnLScott.com), there are only seven units listed in the metro area. The listed price is well below the Everett market, likely due to the condition of the units currently listed.

WHAT SERVICES DO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO?

Recent mixed use developments constructed in Metro Everett typically include retail and office at street level with residential units above. This type of growth and development is resulting in new demands for basic needs like retail, professional, and other commercial services as well as restaurants, arts and entertainment and recreation. Continued growth in Metro Everett will also increase the need for an expanded library, additional schools, increased police and fire responders, and a wide variety of professional and social services. Downtown recreational opportunities will also be sought after with an increased need for an outdoor public gathering space with shade providing trees a place to walk the dog. Ideally, there will be a greater emphasis on walking and biking or taking transit to get around and visit retail and service providers instead of relying on driving a car and finding a convenient parking space at your destination.

This section will generally describe some of the services currently available in Metro Everett for people who live in the downtown area.

Professional Services Metro Everett is the financial, governmental, institutional and cultural center for both the City and Snohomish County. Many businesses and offices located in Metro Everett area provide a wide variety of regional services as well as professional services to local residents living and working here. Businesses in key market sectors include: financial, medical (including veterinarian and pharmacy), legal, insurance and general government. In addition, public service providers such as the electric utility and waste pick- up and recycling are headquartered here.

During the summer months, there is a weekly farmer’s market located just outside of the metropolitan center study area at the Port of Everett. As Everett continues to densify with many new downtown residents, there will be increased demand for a wide variety of reasonably priced food stores.

Retail and Other Commercial Services In addition to professional services, restaurants and food stores, there are many other types of commercial services available for Metro Everett residents. The majority of retail uses are located on Broadway, Hewitt, Colby and Rucker Avenues. A variety of personal service, car repair shops, specialty retail (including apparel and house wares) and several second hand stores are available to support the needs of urban dwellers. In general, the available retail is mostly smaller shops with no major department stores or drug stores. Three full service hotels, as well as a lumber yard, hardware, furniture, lighting and appliances, as well as a big box retail home improvement center are within the Metro Everett area. There are also a large number of bail bond facilities due to the proximity of the jail and court facilities, as well as a concentration of tattoo parlors, smoke shops and thrift stores. A number of warehouses, auto supply, and light industrial uses are located east of Broadway and primarily south of the Everett Transit Station.

A business improvement area (BIA) was formed in the 1990s to maintain a vibrant, clean and safe commercial district that is an asset to the entire city. The BIA is administered by the Downtown Everett Association to retain and recruit independent businesses to locate in the downtown and expand local businesses and services as more people reside in the Metro Everett area. Business owners work together by hosting events such as “Small Business Saturdays” with holiday shopping strolls focusing on downtown retailers and restaurants.

Public Safety Public safety involves residents’ and visitors’ safety from all types of crime. Everett is the county seat and largest jurisdiction in our region, however we are comparable to other jurisdictions in the types and numbers of crime, and crime data for Metro Everett is representative of crime across the city overall. The data for the past five years (2010-2014) shows declines in rape, robbery, assault, theft, some nuisance crimes, and prostitution. Crime related to drugs and burglaries has generally increased, although drug related crime has decreased in the city overall (see table 10 below).

Although Everett is a generally safe community, perception of safety in Metro Everett may be influenced by nuisance crimes. Those crimes may involve loitering, trespassing or similar offenses of which only a portion are reported to police. In some cases, the perception of safety is influenced by the number of homeless or low-income residents visible to the public. As Metro Everett is developed over time, more non-homeless and similar pedestrians on the street can change these perceptions.

Data on crime is summarized in Figure 10 below for Metro Everett and the overall city. Crime data is reported in three general categories:

• Crimes against Persons: This category includes violent crimes like homicide, assault, and rape as well as non-violent offenses involving injuries or potential injuries to people.

• Crimes against Property: This category includes burglary, theft, arson, shoplifting, auto theft, and similar offenses involving the deprivation of property.

• Other: This category typically includes crimes involving drugs, prostitution, loitering, trespass and other such offenses, both major and minor.

The Metro Center contains many of the centers where essential services are delivered, such as the Police station, courthouse, and medical facilities. Many residents report crime that statistically is added from the location of the report which unduly influences the ratios in the Metro area. There is no way to separate the data, but a closer look at the number of reported crimes by address supports this logic.

Schools The population of Metro Everett confirms that schools for all ages are an essential part of living here. Over 30% of the child bearing population (women aged 21-39) reside within Metro Everett, leading to greater numbers of students from elementary through high school.

Everett Public Schools has two schools, Everett High School and Evergreen Middle School, within Metro Everett. Sequoia High School, a small alternative high school, is just outside Metro Everett at Rucker and 35th Street. Two elementary schools, Garfield and Jackson, are in nearby locations north and south of the Metro. A third elementary school is in Metro Everett at the Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Perpetual Help School at Hoyt and 25 Street. Each of these schools hosts a wide variety of school and community events throughout the year.

Everett High School was originally built in 1909 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of four Everett high schools, the campus is centrally located in Everett at Colby and 25th Street, serving the area from Madison to the northern city limits. This year the school has about 1,430 students in grades 9-12. Evergreen Middle School, originally built in 1958, is located east of Everett High School at Rainier and 26th Street. Enrollment this year is about 970 students in grades 6-8. Students are drawn from the area between 41st Street south to the Everett Mall area.

The Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, located just southwest of Everett High School, has a teaching history dating back to 1899. The building was built in 1925 and currently serves students in preschool and grades K-8.

WHAT ARE THE VISIONS THEY HAVE FOR THIS AREA TO BE? Previous planning efforts described visions for how the City foresaw itself and the Metro Everett area in the future as a more active, diverse, multi-modal, and visually appealing place to live.

Metro Everett is envisioned to become a dynamic, multifaceted metropolitan center that encourages quality, high-density residential development and will be the focus of commercial, civic and cultural activities in Snohomish County. It will have a greater concentration of retail, office, civic, cultural, entertainment, and housing uses in a pedestrian-oriented environment, and will be connected with convenient transit, bicycle and vehicle access to surrounding neighborhoods, from the waterfront to the riverfront. Land uses will build on existing downtown amenities and attractions and take advantage of good transit access, topography, and views1.

Metro Everett will have a lively atmosphere on weekends and in the evenings, as people come from surrounding communities to enjoy the arts, entertainment, cultural offerings, dining and shopping opportunities year round. The growing cultural arts scene will flourish and bolster Metro Everett’s image as a desirable place to live, visit, conduct business, shop and enjoy a wide variety of attractions. Historic buildings will have been preserved and rehabilitated and new buildings will have quality designs and materials2.

The area around the Everett Station will continue to evolve as an employment center. Transit oriented mixed-use mid-rise buildings of an industrial character will contain multiple family residential uses on upper floors, and restaurants and business services on the ground level. Views of the Station will be preserved from Broadway down the 32nd Street corridor, while the streets and sidewalks will be improved to be considerably more attractive, well-lighted, and landscaped3.
