The University of Washington North Sound is an ongoing contest between 4 proposed sites for a new UW campus. The sites had to be north of Lynnwood, south of Arlington, and has good transportation access (major freeway, transportation hub, etc.). The 4 sites are in Smokey Point, 2 in Everett, and one in Lake Stevens" [Jerry Cornfield, [http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20071118/NEWS01/711180099 Battle for college heads to Olympia] , "Everett Herald," January 17, 2008.] "By Eric Stevick and Kaitlin Manry, [http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20071004/NEWS01/710040053/1034/COMM05 Battle is on for UW site] , "Everett Herald," January 17, 2008.] " [Jerry Cornfield and Stevick, [http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20071115/NEWS01/71115003 Everett transit center site is report's choice for UW campus] , "Everett Herald," January 17, 2008.] .

The new university will compete with the existing Everett Community College and other colleges around the county.

ites

There are 4 finalists sites that were more favorable than 80 other sites.

Everett Station

The Everett may be located at Everett Station. The total acres available for the development is contentious. According to the CBRE Richard Ellis report [http://www.ofm.wa.gov/reports/uwnorth/Appraisals.pdf] conducted for NBBJ convert|25.2|acre|m2 were submitted by the City of Everett in their original proposal. Of this, convert|3.84|acre|m2 are owned by Sound Transit and have been subsequently removed from the proposal. This leaves as little as convert|21.36|acre|m2 of parcels available for consideration. This acreage does not include right-of-ways for public roads that currently exist. It is small compared to the two other sites, but it is near a transportation hub with Community Transit's SWIFT Bus Rapid Transit service coming soon along with Sound Transit's Link light rail service in Snohomish County. Everett also operates the north end of Sound Transit's Sounder commuter rail service to and from Seattle and then to Tacoma, Amtrak service to and from Vancouver (via Amtrak Cascades/Pacific Central Station and Seattle, and using Amtrak's Empire Builder, Everett has connections to Spokane and Chicago. It was rated the best site and the Snohomish County Council supports it.

The site along with the other Everett site has portions that are contaminated" [Lynn Thompson, [http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/snohomishcountynews/2003936772_sites10n.html 2 UW sites said to be contaminated] , "The Seattle Times," January 17, 2008.] .

Everett Kimberly-Clark/Snohomish River Site

The Kimberly-Clark/Snohomish River site is a site that was purchased in 2005 by The City of Everett from Kimberly-Clark. It was an industrial area about 90 acres large and is partially contaminated. It is located along the Snohomish River, east of I-5, and north of US 2. The only road is Grand Avenue, which becomes Everett Avenue (SR 529) and interchanges with I-5 and US 2. This site is the lowest-rated site according to a recent survey by UW.

North Marysville Site

The North Marysville site is the most northerly and largest site. Its land is shared by the cities of Marysville and Arlington. It is convert|394|acre|km2 large and is located between Smokey Pt. Blvd. (west), 51st Ave. (east), 156th St. (south), and 160th St. (north).

The closest school district to the site and the surrounding community of Smokey Pt. is the Lakewood School District.

Lake Stevens/Cavalero Corner Site

The Lake Stevens/Cavalero Corner site is the eastern site. It has a more central location for Snohomish County. It is slightly larger that the Kimberly-Clark site, roughly 98 acres. It is also located along US 2.

Choosing and Future

Sometime before June 2008, Governor Christine Gregoire is expected to choose the site by evaluation, support, and her opinion.

In 2008, classes will start to teach teachers who will teach at the new university. By 2010, the university should be finished.
