What?! Another condo project being considered on the Everett waterfront? (Feb. 23 article, “More upscale condos planned on waterfront.”) The city of Everett is making the city only for rich people, there will be no more room for the average person to see the beautiful sunsets or walk along the waterfront without running into crowds of people!
They say there will be walkways, but with all the condos, this will mean a huge increase in people, not to mention their dogs, that will use the walkways.
Also, what about the traffic problem? There is only one way in, and one way out, and today if you try to use the roads during rush-hour traffic, you run into long waits. When there is an accident on I-5, Highway 99 or anywhere, it is impossible to get out of the area.
With the Navy Station on this road, should a disaster happen to that area, where would the residents of these expensive condos go?
Serious issues need to be addressed before the city should approve of another condo project and the city of Everett residents should let the City Council know about their concerns.
It’s all about more money for the rich and not about what is good for the residents of Snohomish County. Pretty soon there will be no more waterfront views as the skyline will be lined with condos!
