  • Snohomish County 2020-2024 Integrated Regional and Local Workforce Plan Draft As of May 5, 2021
    Snohomish County 2020-2024 Integrated Regional and Local Workforce Plan Draft as of May 5, 2021 Introduction Home to more than 800,000 individuals and covering 2,196 square miles ranging from an urban core to remote wilderness, Snohomish County is a regional and local workforce development area in Washington’s Central Puget Sound Region. Our county has many benefits – it is the commercial aerospace epicenter of the world and is a hub of international trade in the most trade- dependent state in the nation. Snohomish County is home to two Innovation Partnership Zones and seven Opportunity Zones, generating innovation capital to enhance our prosperity still further. The three federally recognized tribes in Snohomish County are stewards of the environment and engines of economic activity. Snohomish County’s commercial airport, serving 15 destinations, has received national recognition and, less than one year after opening, is ranked 10th among small- and mid-sized airports in the nation. However, Snohomish County is facing two overlapping economic shocks: the Covid-19 pandemic and its effect on manufacturing, tourism, and small businesses and Boeing’s announcement that it will consolidate production of the 787 wide-body commercial jet to Charleston, South Carolina. At the end of February 2021, the County’s unemployment rate was 6.2% according to the Washington State Employment Security Department. This is down from the April 2020 unemployment rate of 19.2%. Although the county’s unemployment rate is significantly less than April 2021, it masks the high unemployment that remains in the sectors most impacted by the pandemic: retail, accommodations and food services, healthcare and social assistance, and aerospace manufacturing.

  • State of Everett 2020
    CITY OF EVERETT State of Everett 2020 Jan. 16, 2020 Mayor Cassie Franklin Thank you, Amber and Maddy, for that wonderful introduction, and for kicking off our program this morning. I am pleased to have such smart and engaged young women leading the work of our new Youth Advisory Board! Attending a Leadership Launch event last year gave me the inspiration to put the board together. Leadership Launch is a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring young people to help them succeed in school and become future leaders. I was incredibly impressed with the young men and women I met there. They not only underscored for me the importance of involving youth in City decisions and forming a youth board; they also worked together with me to make it happen. I’m proud to now have 17 very dynamic and remarkable young people volunteering their time to advise me on important initiatives in our city. A big thank you to the representatives of Leadership Launch. And again, thank you, Amber and Maddy, and all of our youth advisory board members, for your leadership! I’d also like to thank Patrick and the Economic Alliance for putting on this event, as well as Bill McSherry and the Boeing Company for sponsoring, and again thank all of our elected officials for being here today. I’d especially like to acknowledge all seven of our City councilmembers who joined us here today: Council President Judy Tuohy and Councilmembers: Scott Bader, Scott Murphy, Jeff Moore, Paul Roberts, Brenda Stonecipher and Liz Vogeli. It is an honor to work with each of you.
