EVERETT — More than 200 students from Jackson and Mill Creek elementary schools on Tuesday morning toured new historical displays installed along the waterfront trails by the Port of Everett.
The port held a ceremony commemorating the displays, which were installed in February. The exhibits explore Everett’s history of lumber and 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.
