Silver Lake Neighborhood Highlights

Silver Lake Neighborhood Highlights

January 2010

Emory’s Restaurant on Silver Lake: The cause of the early November fire has not yet been released, and the site has not changed since the immediate post-fire cleanup. The Everett Herald is continuing to inquire and there should be another story soon. Herald reporter Jackson Holtz (jholtz@heraldnet.com) is interested in talking with neighborhood residents about their thoughts on the matter, if anyone is interesting in going on the record about it.


Silver Lake Center: This is Alan Clark’s large development at the north end of the lake, which would include a new Safeway store. Some permits are in place but no development is likely in the near term until financing is available.


Fountain Place (Alan Clark’s smaller development at the SE corner of Hwy 527 and 116th St. SE): Site is for sale and will likely not be developed soon, and perhaps not in they way that has been described to us. Some accumulation of trash on the site and Alan has been contacted (see web site for info on Jan. 14 Code Compliance meeting).


McDonalds at 96th Pl SE and Hwy 527: No longer in operation. All signage and restaurant/playland materials have been removed.


Green Lantern Park on peninsula of land at northeast side of lake: Development of this city property as a real park is part of the proposed mitigation actions for the planned development of Silver Lake Center and Fountain Place. Perhaps nothing will happen until these other developments are underway.


Trail and boardwalk around lake: Awaiting better financial times for Everett. Likely several years away and to be developed in phases by Everett Parks.


Annexation of areas north and east of Silver Lake by Everett: On hold because the annexed areas would not bring in as much tax revenue as they would require in funding to provide city services. Everett does not want to annex any areas that would be a net loss at this time of tight finances.


Mayor Ray Stephanson was our neighborhood guest speaker who shared that the city budget is stable for 2010 and no employees were anticipated to to be layed off.
