Riverfront testimony

Everett city officials finished taking written comments on the Everett Riverfront Redevelopment Final Environmental Impact Statement. However, the public may still weigh in at a public hearing, rescheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in City Council Chambers, 3002 Wetmore Ave.

The riverfront development is a multimillion-dollar project that would bring shops, condos and extensive shoreline restoration to more than 200 acres next to the Snohomish River.
