City approves domestic violence shelter
The Everett City Council approved a plan to transfer a small piece of Department of Defense land in a north Everett neighborhood to Domestic Violence Services. The U.S. Army Reserve center on Rainier Avenue would become a 60-bed shelter for domestic violence victims.
The project needs approval from the Department of Defense and Housing and Urban Development. The Army would remain until 2011, then DVS would take over and begin renovations. The shelter could open in 2012.
