Everett Approves Additional Funds for Downtown Stadium Project

The plan includes more than $17 million in city money so far, while officials warn a $25 million funding gap could still emerge.

  • On Wednesday, the Everett City Council voted 6-1 to approve an additional $10.6 million for design services and property acquisition for the Everett Outdoor Event Center.
  • Major League Baseball implemented new stadium requirements in 2021, forcing the Everett AquaSox to leave Funko Field because the venue no longer meets High-A standards.
  • Councilmember at Large Judy Tuohy cast the sole dissenting vote, stating she wanted to "ensure that the funding foundation is in place" before committing more city dollars.
  • The Everett Outdoor Event Center will house the Everett AquaSox and United Soccer League teams, featuring 5,000 seats designed to attract visitors and drive economic growth.
  • Construction is set to begin by September, with completion scheduled for late 2027, though the city must still close a 21% funding gap for the $120 million project.
