Everett: Union Bank asks for sign variance
Union Bank, 2606 Wetmore Ave., is asking the city for a variance to allow an existing freestanding sign to remain after the business installs signs on its walls.
The bank is located in the central business district, which doesn't normally allow freestanding signs.
The matter is scheduled to go before the City of Everett Land Use Hearing Examiner at 9 a.m. Thursday on the 8th floor of the Wall Street Building, 2930 Wetmore Ave.

Navy plans to build new boat launch
The U.S. Navy is hiring contractors to demolish a pier adjacent to Naval Station Everett and build a new $2.2 million small craft launch.
The contractor plans to remove a derelict pier and creosote-treated wood pilings at the Everett Kimberly-Clark plant, a move that is expected to help restore aquatic habitat and improve water quality.
Then workers plan to build a concrete slab ramp and floating dock.
The launch will allow the Navy to quickly respond to events such as oil spills, security threats, or other situations in the East Waterway that require an immediate response by boat.
