EVERETT — Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin will deliver her annual State of the City address on March 5, the Greater Everett Chamber of Commerce announced Wednesday.
Franklin’s keynote address, her ninth to be delivered while in office and the first since she won reelection to a third term in November, will be “a clear look at priorities that matter to business, from public safety and housing to infrastructure, workforce, and economic growth,” a description from the Greater Everett Chamber of Commerce read. The theme of the event is “Everett Takes The Field,” and a photo on the Chamber’s website depicts Franklin standing in a sports stadium.
The event, hosted by the Chamber, will take place at 4 p.m. on March 5 at the Historic Everett Theatre, located at 2911 Colby Ave. in Everett. MyEverettNews first reported the date of the speech.
Tickets to the event are $35 for members of the Chamber of Commerce and $55 for non-members. A recording of the address and a written copy of the speech will be available on the city website the following day.
Everett spokesperson Simone Tarver said the city does not make any money from the event — ticket sales are managed by the Everett Chamber and cover the costs of putting on the event.
Everett will host a free State of the City event on March 7 in the Olympic View Banquet Room at Walter E. Hall Park, located at 1226 W Casino Rd. in Everett, Tarver confirmed Wednesday.
