This August, you may see Port of Everett Proposition No. 1 on your primary ballot, asking voters in the proposed enlargement area whether to enlarge Port boundaries to include most of Snohomish County. While many large port districts in Washington state are county-wide — including all other ports in the state that operate international seaports — the Port of Everett is not. With nearly 830,000 residents and growing, only about 15% of the County has access to port tools and investments. This significantly restricts how the Port of Everett can help advance economic and community priorities across Snohomish County, one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Ballots expected to arrive around July 20. For more information and FAQs, visit https://lnkd.in/gsMTHfps.
