Strategic Initiatives
Every year, the Port of Everett Commission adopts a five-year Capital Improvement Plan and associated budget that enhances Port business lines and supports jobs, trade, commerce and recreation. These capital investments are guided by Commission set strategic initiatives that help grow and strengthen our local and regional economies, create good paying jobs, leverage public-private investment opportunity, and creating revenue generating industries.
The Port's 2024–2028 Capital Improvement Plan continues to develop the Everett waterfront as a place of commerce, as well as a place for citizens and guests to recreate. The plan includes 46 projects that advance the Port’s Strategic Plan by:
• Investing in maritime infrastructure to modernize the Seaport and support the movement of commerce, while also greening the supply chain
• Building out public infrastructure and mixed-use elements at Waterfront Place, including new destination retail and restaurant pads at Fisherman’s Harbor, and moving into development for the second phase at the Millwright District
• Continuing to recapitalize and upgrade Marina infrastructure, including fuel dock replacement and reconfiguration, covered moorage upgrades and more
• Exploring new economic development opportunities, such as waterfront redevelopment planning efforts in Mukilteo, and
• Systematic cleanup of legacy contamination along the waterfront as part of the Puget Sound Initiative
