Staff said the northbound I‑5 lanes will be fully closed from I‑90 up to 40th Street beginning the weekend of July 18 (full closure Friday night through Monday morning). For approximately a month afterward, northbound traffic will be reduced to two lanes; staff said the multiweek work runs into late August with a final full-closure weekend near Aug. 21. Drivers should use I‑405 or alternate routes. The staff presentation urged commuters to consider transit options and said Community Transit has an online travel page and a workshop July 8 at the Marysville Library with commuter information and a free ORCA card for attendees.

The staff update also noted Everett Transit has opened public outreach for its long-range plan and will host information booths at the farmer’s market on July 13 and other community events; the outreach period for Everett Transit was described as July 1–30. Staff did not present an action item for council vote; the remarks were informational.

No new city budget or mitigation measures for local traffic impacts were proposed during the meeting; staff recommended transit and travel alternatives while WSDOT completes repairs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Everett City Council Meeting: July 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff warned of a full northbound I-5 closure weekend starting July 18 for Ship Canal Bridge repairs, lane reductions through August and promoted Everett and Community Transit outreach events and open houses for transit planning.","taxTitle","Everett, Snohomish County, Washington","taxId",2974,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179262,"Council hears from ham radio operator about Field Day and emergency-communications role",642,344000,986000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131457-13d259c4d7336062dd45b40c9d9db576&start=344&end=986","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131457-13d259c4d7336062dd45b40c9d9db576/thumbnail_344000.jpg","/articles/6179262/Everett/Snohomish-County/Washington/Council-hears-from-ham-radio-operator-about-Field-Day-and-emergency-communications-role","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179262-2ad3f2bb1fec608d9266aa32fcf40c69/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199355&Signature=X3bSYwWm2z4bgfzIG0xe9zkB3WugCQuSt3PJl8Cbt3-Vs0yeoLzTgSxXj-okSBXLT2UHffiraEPy9Gs8oNHY5cE3Ju6tjttas8hfa~wonxw0GB-HqHFiEYiIhfU4FJ8fovN6lrWBCplt0g9abHZcEhL09hU1EgggothL~6H1vSgUSgs-BhN55t~zbcnso7k6JJy2eRCNlZ5XkNa4vMVqnF6X4BvUm2QozMie0XEkqXzczcAJTiObx5yhTHJgEcwPk~yn3JEImw8N6rrTb7-kTLJssyM9CaNqZVY8bbHkOZk1Cbdi9T230~messqCeNa-4i6jbfRrJOufhwzz6~c32g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John Van Dalen, an Everett resident and ham radio operator, thanked the council for a proclamation recognizing the National Amateur Radio Relay League Field Day and described the amateur-radio community's role as an independent emergency communications backup.

Van Dalen said his club set up at Legion Park under the call sign WA7LAW for a 24-hour exercise and that the activity helps volunteers maintain short- and long-range communications that can operate independently of cellular networks. \"It's not only a hobby, but it's just also really important for in case of emergency, you are our backup,\" he said.

Council members and the mayor thanked the volunteers. Vice President Zarlingo noted that amateur operators can set up independent communication networks to help first responders if commercial systems fail, and he commended the volunteers for sustaining the exercise and its power independence.

No council action was taken; the remarks were part of the public-comment period and a recognition of volunteer service.","John Van Dalen thanked the mayor and others for a proclamation recognizing the National Amateur Radio Relay League Field Day and highlighted amateur radio's role as an emergency backup; council members praised the volunteers.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179267,"Resident urges traffic-calming on Dakota after videos and accident counts",154,752000,906000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131457-13d259c4d7336062dd45b40c9d9db576&start=752&end=906","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131457-13d259c4d7336062dd45b40c9d9db576/thumbnail_752000.jpg","/articles/6179267/Everett/Snohomish-County/Washington/Resident-urges-traffic-calming-on-Dakota-after-videos-and-accident-counts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179267-0194aaa30ab4fd00643d91df6b2cbda8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199355&Signature=ZdlgRFrVkjXNG3N6QytTTQcoNk22rjpUOoxVyOKhWjmhc5WcFh4cug1f4Phy~p3tRCvmd9GC8mNeS4FkK1n0oTTfV0yczceHHoxlKkK~huZu9GJv0AW5mrZQWS6Zfdz9J2BiTettr~TldHavMfVc9beKlX~Palc7MB458F69I6oXHUl7-uMlfcya-wRZakIZ8~8hyXGGKaTpN0rG0IKwzaj7IazK5H9A9tFCkKUUzRkx5iVJLTsPiPyejn4Sgdw6ilyS7bRMgO1c9D5BKkMj6ExTY8KPAI8PK0txjo85y~b6xbNyDAFi3Ke7YNrElKSQs9z4JlXwQ5y2Be7MN9E3fw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Daniel Dodson, a city resident, urged the Everett City Council to take action to reduce speeding and crashes on Dakota, a short residential street between 100th Street and Holly.

Dodson told the council he compiled photos, video links and a traffic report that, he said, shows 16 accidents on Dakota in 2024 and six at the intersection with Holly. He said he has video of a school bus being passed on the left during student drop-off and described other \"reckless driving\" and \"excessive speed\" evidence. \"The traffic engineer said that $1,520,000 dollars was too much to spend to cure these problems on Dakota,\" Dodson said, adding he did not believe treatments such as speed bumps, signage, and painted crosswalks would cost that much.

Dodson asked the council to review the materials and consider traffic-calming measures, and he requested staff contact Jennifer Gregerson from his team to receive video and supporting materials. Council members thanked him for bringing the information; no motion, referral, or staff direction is recorded in the meeting transcript.

The transcript includes no city staff engineering analysis, cost estimate breakdown, or formal referral to a department during the meeting; Dodson said a traffic engineer had provided the $1,520,000 figure but the engineer did not speak at the July 2 meeting.","Resident Daniel Dodson told the council he collected videos and data showing reckless driving, crashes and near-misses on Dakota and asked the council to take action on traffic calming, crosswalk striping and signage; no formal council action was taken at the meeting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179271,"Council approves three appointments to Everett Animal Shelter Advisory Board",67,156000,223000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131457-13d259c4d7336062dd45b40c9d9db576&start=156&end=223","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131457-13d259c4d7336062dd45b40c9d9db576/thumbnail_156000.jpg","/articles/6179271/Everett/Snohomish-County/Washington/Council-approves-three-appointments-to-Everett-Animal-Shelter-Advisory-Board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179271-2c8599838edfcfd5a44d96ca1d2835da/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199355&Signature=hT71-ofHeM1rVEWdX8n2WZ2itwnd1rXyArqgTBP5nTh0xV2NgPrgm7lLP6lReGq25pBltjeD7U7Pj5cS-DeCqYd3LfmY1J4HKbKixZAp25vSXeP43Qfcm9bzUknEsRdiXmngRkiZcTBCW9yGR7JxaL-J6ay3k~GEjWVOT8QfG4s8UwTzLeH5IYNO46IePWSjj1PelT~GXz~9Fs1pg4PaElk9YayeU7QB8SO0kdLY2Jh1T5dMI~rUS5GEE7diqYrDpelivY2SH-VZwahkC-as3Hlo0QbEJYvU0uC0MWnJzO~BFMZj5yWJ0W06LQAF8JkGE2Z9LJDpvin73lYr6bzCJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Everett City Council unanimously confirmed three appointments to the Animal Shelter Advisory Board during the July 2 meeting.

The proposal, introduced during the July 2 Everett City Council meeting, would shift some cleanup costs from taxpayers and city resources to those found responsible for the damage. \"This ordinance should help reduce the burden of city resources and taxpayers requiring offenders to pay for damages, sends a clear message that graffiti isn't a harmless prank,\" Mayor Franklin said. He added the measure is intended in part to deter gang-related graffiti and that staff are currently drafting the ordinance \"and I look forward to bringing it to you in the next few weeks.\"

Council did not take formal action on the ordinance during the meeting; Franklin framed the item as a staff-drafted ordinance to return to council for consideration. The transcript does not include proposed ordinance text, a draft schedule for introduction, or details on enforcement mechanisms (for example, whether the city would pursue civil restitution, criminal fines, or a combination). No resolution, motion, or vote accompanies the mayor's remarks in the meeting record.

If returned to the council, the ordinance would proceed through the city’s regular legislative process; the mayor said only that legal staff were drafting the measure and did not provide a timetable beyond \"the next few weeks.\"","Mayor Franklin said the city will draft an ordinance to require people responsible for graffiti to pay cleanup costs and to help deter gang-related tagging; the proposal is in drafting and no vote was taken.","actionData","errors"]
