Port of Everett plans for sea level rise in new development

EVERETT —In the next year, the Port of Everett plans to break ground on the second and largest phase of its Waterfront Place mixed-use project.

And as it gears up for development, climate change adaptation and mitigation are at the forefront of the port’s plans.

The Millwright District, situated between the north and central docks, will have more than 60,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant space, 200,000 square feet of commercial and office space and include over 300 residential units.

Until construction starts, large piles of dirt indicate the port’s forward thinking, tying its desire for waterfront expansion with environmentally conscious design.
