Everett Port to Relocate Historic Weyerhaeuser Building
The Everett Port Commission has awarded a nearly $1.1 million contract for the relocation of a historic building from its current location in the Port of Everett Marina to the port’s new Boxcar Park.
The historic Gothic-style Weyerhaeuser Office Building was erected in 1923 at the company’s first Everett plant. The 6,000-square-foot, one-and-a-half story building was designed to showcase local wood species such as fir, cedar and hemlock.
The Weyerhaeuser Company was Everett’s largest employer for decades, and the structure resided at two of its largest plants. The Weyerhaeuser Office Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Today, the building serves as a reminder of the lumber and shingle industry that contributed to the evolution of the Everett waterfront.
"This is a very important project and building for the community," Port Commissioner Troy McClelland said. "Staff will be exploring ways to put the building back into productive use at Boxcar Park in the interim while preparations are made for the interior and exterior improvements to the building to create an outdoor performance venue and marina clubhouse in the 2020 timeframe."
