Port signs dedication
The Port of Everett plans to dedicate its historical interpretative displays that line the waterfront’s four miles of trails at a ceremony from 10 a.m. to noon today at the port’s Waterfront Center at 1205 Craftsman Way. The public is invited.
The exhibits, installed in February, explore Everett’s history of lumber, shingle, commercial fishing and boat building industries on the waterfront.
The interpretive program is intended to bring local residents and tourists down to the waterfront to learn about the history of the site, while also providing an ongoing educational element.
The port worked with Historic Everett, Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and the Washington State Historic Preservation Office. The exhibits were designed by Dykeman Architects in partnership with EDX Exhibits, and fabricated and installed by Tacoma-based sign company YESCO Sign Company. The project cost $400,000.
Monroe traffic detour: The westbound Highway 522 exit to 164th Street Southeast (West Main Street) will be closed at night this week until Thursday morning, the state Department of Transportation said. Contractor crews are laying new asphalt as part of work to improve and widen the ramp.
The ramp will be closed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Drivers will follow a signed detour to Fales/Echo Lake Road and eastbound Highway 522 to reach 164th Street Southeast.
