Clark Park Gazebo slated to be removed
Clark Park, Everett’s oldest Park, with its 103-year-old Gazebo designed by noted architect Benjamin Turnbull, has been on the Everett Register of Historic Places since1993. The City of Everett wants to remove the Gazebo and install a dog park, due to safety concerns and agrees demolition of the Gazebo is not going to solve the issues in Clark Park.
Historic Everett asks:
Why tear down this beloved, publicly owned historic landmark, especially if it won’t solve the problem?
The Everett Historical Commission suggested a compromise: build the dog area incorporating the Gazebo to activate the space and seek local or national grants for restoration.
Historic Everett agrees:
LET’S COMPROMISE – THE GAZEBO DOG PARK is a WIN/WIN!

The Show Must Go On!
Historic Everett presents… “The Show Must Go On!” coloring book, reminiscence of theatrical arts in Everett. Illustrated by local artist Elizabeth Person, it’s produced in conjunction with the City of Everett’s Cultural Arts Grant program.
We look back at movie theater marquees that dotted the streets of downtown, The Historic Everett Theatre, Poetry, the spoken art performed at local coffee shops and the Everett Public Library, Betty Spooner’s famous ‘School of the Dance’, the iconic bronze statue of Mike Jordan that greets guests in front of Everett Performing Arts, and more.
Look for this delightful coloring book available in local stores or here on website.
