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.

ADVOCACY

Everett Parks demolishes 1920 Bothne House at Silver Lake

Historic Everett preservation group was set to nominate the historic family homestead as an icon of lakeside life, when Everett Parks demolished the house in November 2022. The goal is to work with Everett Parks and its neighbors to ensure its place as an interpretive Silver Lake site using salvaged architectural elements. Historic Everett had been supportive of previous plans by the Everett Parks department for renovating the historic house, built from the reused building materials from the original downtown YMCA. Even while the Everett Parks left it in disrepair, the home stood as a prime example of historic preservation by the Bothne family.
