How to get to Wall Street from here By Jim Davis

The Herald Business Journal

Funko joined a select club when it went public in November. The Everett toys and collectibles company became one of only eight publicly traded businesses headquartered in Snohomish County. Companies often sell stock to raise money for future expansion. In Funko’s case, the company cited paying down debt as one of the reasons to start trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange. It’s ticker symbol FNKO. Over the years, the number of publicly traded companies in the county have grown or shrunk for a variety of reasons, said Tim Raetzloff, who owns Abarim Computers in Edmonds. He has been tracking local stocks since the mid-1990s and until 2010 produced the Snohomish County Stock Index. At first, he wanted to keep track of his suppliers in the computer industry. Then he started tracking fluctuations of stock prices for county companies. He’s seen the number of publicly traded companies balloon to 15 at one point. That’s been whittled away as some companies were taken private and others have closed down. During the recession, three publicly traded banks went away — the bank holding companies for Frontier, Cascade and CityBank. Companies can even move headquarters. That’s what happened with Marina Biotech, which was based in Bothell but recently moved to City of Industry in California. Funko is the most recent company in the county to hold an initial public offering, or a sale of stock in the company. Headquartered at 2802 Wetmore Ave. in Everett, the company makes figurines of pop culture characters, from Marvel and DC Comics to Disney. Funko also makes apparel, home decor and stuffed animals. It had a disappointing launch in November, when it initially valued its stock at $12 a share. The price of a share promptly fell to just over $7 on that first day of trading. The stock market rebounded in December. Still, Funko comes in fourth in size of publicly traded companies in the county in terms of market cap, which is the value of the company figured by multiplying the per-share price by the total number of outstanding shares. As of early December, the company had a market cap of $449.3 million. The biggest publicly traded company in the county, by far, is Fortive. A relatively new company, Fortive broke off from industrial giant Danaher and opened its headquarters in 2016 at the Fluke campus in Everett. Fortive, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol FTV, had a market cap of $25.3 billion. Fortive owns more than two dozen smaller industrial companies, including Fluke. It’s not only the biggest publicly traded company headquartered in the county, but it’s also one of the biggest in the state.

Raetzloff notes that Fortive, by December, surpassed Paccar to become the sixth-largest company based in the state. It’s still behind Microsoft, Amazon, Costco, Starbucks and Weyerhaeuser. The second biggest publicly traded company in Snohomish County is Seattle Genetics, based in Bothell. It had a market cap of $8.067 billion in early December. Seattle Genetics is a biotech firm that’s one of the biggest in the Pacific Northwest. It’s developing several lines of drugs, but already has its cancer-fighting drug, Adcetris, on the market. Adcetris is used to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It’s traded under the symbol SGEN. Adcetris is approved only to be used on

Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients who have failed other treatments. Seattle Genetics is seeking approval from the Food & Drug Administration to allow the drug to be used as a frontline treatment. If approved, that could cause the company’s value to soar. The third-largest company is Zumiez, which is based in Lynnwood. The youth-oriented clothing retailer went public in 2005 and is traded under the symbol ZUMZ. The market cap for the company was $521 million in early December. Zumiez operates 695 stores, including 607 in the United States, 51 in Canada, 31 in Europe and six in Australia. The company markets apparel and footwear for

skateboaders, snowboarders and surfers. The only bank that’s publicly traded and still based in the county is 1st Security Bank in Mountlake Terrace. It’s holding company is FS Bancorp. The company comes in fifth in the county in terms of market size at $212 million as of early December. It trades under the ticker symbol FSBW. The bank held its initial public offering in 2012. BioLife Solutions comes in next with a market cap of $71.56 million as of early December. Like Seattle Genetics, BioLife Solutions is also a Bothell-headquartered biotech company. The company bills itself as the leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of proprietary clinical grade cell and tissue hypothermic storage and cryopreservation freeze media. BioLife Solutions moved from Owego, New York, to Bothell a decade ago. The smallest two publicly traded companies in the county are Neah Power Systems and Seen On Screen TV. Neah Power Systems had a market cap value of $1.8 million in early December. The Edmonds company aims to change the way that batteries are made, used and perform. Seen On Screen TV is based in Everett and has a market cap of under a half million dollars. Seen On Screen TV bills itself as a global retailer selling products through websites and direct-response television advertising.

COVER STORY

Air terminal is going to be ‘special’ Propeller CEO is shepherding thousands of details that go into look, feel of the project By Jim Davis

The Herald Business Journal

B

rett Smith has traveled a lot in his career. He’s been in and out of airports across the country. That’s given him valuable experience for his task at hand — developing Everett’s airport terminal. Smith is the founder and CEO of Propeller Airports, a for-profit company that’s building the commercial terminal at Paine Field. The terminal is scheduled to be finished in July and open in September. Two airlines, United and Alaska, have committed to flying out of it. In his travels, he’s seen beautiful, successful airports and ones that miss the mark. “The ones that are really good, a lot of thought has gone into it,” Smith said. “I can tell you that’s what I spend all of my time thinking about — Paine Field. It’s easy to put up a terminal, it’s hard to do it right.” The 27,000-square-foot, two-gate terminal between Paine Field’s administrative offices and the airport control tower was designed by Denver-based Fentress Architects and is being built by Fisher Construction Group of Burlington. The terminal should be popular. It can take an hour and a half or longer to get from Snohomish County to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the closest airport with scheduled air service. And Sea-Tac is becoming more crowded each year. Sea-Tac went from being the 13th-busiest airport in the U.S., with 20.1 million travelers in 2015, to the ninth-busiest, with 21.9 million travelers in 2016, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration. Smith is not saying how much is being spent to build the Everett terminal. This is the first commercial passenger terminal for Propeller, which is leasing 11 acres from Snohomish County at Paine Field in exchange for $429,000 per year in rent, plus a share of flight and parking revenues. Smith has his hands in the thousands of details behind the look and feel of the terminal. He describes the project as having “a lot of glass, a lot of Pacific Northwest in it, a lot of wood, we really want it to match the region.” He also wants this airport to be one people choose not just because of proximity but also experience. He envisions the experience like that of

a hotel — people walk through the door into a lobby to meet a concierge. “Once you’re past security, you’ll walk into what looks like a living room with two fireplaces and a bar and a place to get something to eat,” Smith said. “There will be huge glass windows, you can look out onto the mountain range. I think it’s going to be special.” The terminal will feature two jet

bridges at the gates. Many smaller airports have people walk across the ramp to board the plane. That would save Propeller money. But it would also create a problem for travelers. “It rains a lot,” Smith said. “I don’t want people to go outside.” In fact, Propeller is splurging on glass jet bridges. “There’s such beautiful scenery, we’re

taking the extra step, we’re spending the extra money for glass so that by the time you walk into the terminal until the time you board the planes it will be pleasant experience,” he said. Building an air terminal from the ground up means the design can include the latest technology. For instance, he notes that most airports have only a handful of USB ports,

COVER STORY with small crowds huddled around them, trying to recharge their phones and devices. “You won’t have to do that here,” Smith said. “We’re doing painstaking measures to make sure every seat has it.” He’s not naming names for the restaurant or bar, but he said it won’t be what is seen in every airport. He said there will also be at least one or two coffee kiosks. “Can you not have a coffee bar in Seattle?” he joked. He said he’s been approached by car rental companies but hasn’t made any decisions on which ones will be in the terminal. Propeller is still determining the number of parking spaces. It will be a lot, not a parking garage. The company plans to offer valet parking. As a private company, Smith is trying to determine conveniences that travelers and business folks will be interested in. Maybe that means that travelers drop off their car with their laundry. When they return, they pick up their car and their freshly laundered clothing. Still, he notes there’s a balance between offering desired services and nickeling-and-diming customers. He wants to offer what travelers value and avoid making it feel like they’re opening their wallet at every turn. For instance, most airports charge a couple of dollars to lease luggage carts. The air terminal in Everett will offer the carts for free, Smith said. “We really want our customers to feel like they’re getting value for their money,” Smith said. Most of the airports in the U.S. are owned and operated by counties, cities or ports. Around the world, other airports have privatized such as Heathrow in London. Smith started in the software business, and he said he liked the business but he didn’t love it. Starting a business to build private airports is something he’s found that he loves. His company was looking for a place to build a private commercial air terminal and contacts at airlines mentioned Snohomish County. He then was approached by business people in the community. He flew in to stay at a hotel late on a Sunday night and drove from Sea-Tac to Mukilteo. “There’s no traffic at 10 o’clock on Sunday night, you can get here pretty quick if there’s zero traffic,” Smith said. “I was like, ‘Will this work?’ The next day, I missed three flights sitting in two hours of traffic and I’m like, ‘Now I understand.’” United announced six daily flights to its hubs in Denver and San Francisco. Alaska plans up to nine daily flights, but

The two-gate airport terminal being built by Propeller Airports at Paine Field will include two fireplaces, a bar and a restaurant and a full glass panel wall that will look onto the Olympic Mountains.

“The ones that are really good, a lot of thought has gone into it. ... It’s easy to put up a terminal, it’s hard to do it right.” — Brett Smith, Propeller Airports isn’t likely to announce specific destinations until early this year. Some possible contenders are thought to include Portland, Spokane, the Bay Area and southern California. Propeller has already reached out to Everett Transit and is planning a way for buses to drive to the airport and turn around, said Sabina Popa, program manager for the agency. Everett Transit already has one route that goes there throughout the day. Community Transit also has one route that stops by the new airport terminal, said Martin Munguia, a spokesman of the agency. The frequency of the route could go up once the airline schedules are released. Also, Community Transit is planning a Swift Line with stops several times an hour outside the terminal.

Alaska and United airlines have committed to flying out of the commercial passenger terminal at Paine Field. United plans to fly to hubs Denver and San Francisco. Alaska hasn’t announced its destinations.

Sound Transit is planning a light rail route that will run to the Boeing plant near Paine Field. Where the light-rail terminal will end — and how close it will be to the airport terminal — will be planned in 2020. Smith is cognizant that this terminal will serve thousands of Snohomish County travelers. “Seattle is not going to be listed in our

terminal. However, with that said, when you go to Expedia or go directly to Alaska (on the web), it will give you an option for all local airports,” Smith said. Inside the terminal, all signage will be about Everett. “This is Everett’s airport and that’s the end of it,” Smith said. Jim Davis: 425-339-3097; jdavis@ heraldnet.com; @HBJnews.

Changing the business world forever Major news events in 2017 will impact the world of business in Snohomish County for decades to come By Jim Davis

Herald Writer

Each of these stories made major headlines in 2017, and the impacts will have a ripple effect in Snohomish County for years. Washington State University opened its Everett campus. Boeing started 777X production. Ground was broken for a commercial air terminal at Paine Field. The campus brings a major employer and attracts talent and youth to Everett. The plant ensures Boeing will retain a presence in the county for years to come. The terminal adds a vital transportation link that will help attract future businesses. The significance of each will be measured in the years to come. Here’s a look back at the biggest business news for the county in the past year:

1. WSU opens campus in Everett Very few things can change the face of a community like a college campus. That’s what Snohomish County leaders are banking will happen with WSU opening its doors in Everett. There’s an energy and excitement with a campus and the students it attracts. The fact that colleges double as a major employer is also a bonus. The four-story, $64.6 million glassand-brick building opened in August. The inaugural class of students started classes just days later. It’s small today. Only about 500 students are taking classes through WSU and its partner universities. But the campus building is big enough to grow to twice that number of students in the future. There already are discussions about the campus growing beyond this first building. Travel to any community with a college campus — Bothell, Bellingham, Tacoma — to see what the institution means to the surrounding community. Everett’s WSU campus is offering programs to complement existing businesses in the community — mechanical, electrical and software engineering, for instance. Some of the students taking those classes could begin their own businesses, creating the jobs far into the future.

plant in Everett 50 years ago. With the new 777X program, it could be here for another 50. The aerospace company started assembly of the new wide-body jet at a stateof-the-art plant at the Everett factory at Paine Field. Test flights are expected in 2019, with delivery to airlines in 2020. The 777X builds on some innovations of the 787 that first flew in 2009. The aircraft will have the longest composite wings of any plane in the skies. Boeing agreed to build the 777X in

Everett after securing concessions from union machinists and state tax breaks that are expected to save the company an estimated $8.7 billion over several years. The company has said that 3,250 employees are expected to work on the program by 2018. Boeing workers realized the importance of the moment for the company as well as Everett and Washington. “I just wanted to be able to be a part of something that will help Boeing continue on for the next century,” rear spar mechanic Nick Just said.

It’s been a controversial topic for years in Snohomish County. Should a commercial air terminal open at Paine Field? This year, privately owned Propeller Airports got the OK to build the terminal. Alaska and United airlines both signed up to start flying out of Everett as soon as it opens. The scheduled opening is September. All of a sudden, travelers will no longer need to drive to Sea-Tac — a trip that can take a couple of hours or more from Everett. That’s appealing for business travelers who make up a large number of the passengers on many flight. It won’t be the deciding factor if a company decides to locate in Snohomish County or chooses to relocate elsewhere. But it could be one of the factors in any decision by a business.

4. Developer convicted of defrauding investors Lobsang Dargey will leave a legacy in Everett. During the recession, at a time when little development was occurring in the city, Dargey built a Potala Village, a mixed-use apartment and retail building, in downtown Everett. Then he started building Potala Place, another mixed-use project just a few blocks away. He had other projects in Seattle and the Eastside. From 2012 to 2015, Dargey and associ-

ates raised $153.6 million from 282 Chinese investors. He was gaining a reputation for getting things done. But he was also defrauding investors and misusing tens of millions of dollars on trips to casinos and on personal purchases, including jewelry and a luxury home. In August, Dargey was sentenced to four years in prison and agreed repay $24.1 million to investors.

5. Median home sale price surpasses $400,000 For the first time, the median price for a homes climbed past $400,000 in Snohomish County. It broke that barrier in April and remained there through the fall. Location, of course, dictates prices, with homes closer to Seattle in the south county costing far more than homes in the north part of the county. But everywhere, home sale prices are higher now than before the recession. That’s led to questions about a housing bubble. One statistic that leads economists to downplay bubble fears: The area has seen a rapid growth, with more than 100,000 people moving into the county just in 10 years. That’s almost like adding another city of Everett.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

More than 2,000 people show up for a party with the opening of Funko’s flagship store in downtown Everett. The toys and collectibles company moved its headquarters to the downtown core in 2017.

6. Tulalips plan to build $100 million casino The Tulalip Tribes is one of the largest employers in Snohomish County. And many of those employees work at the tribes’ two casinos in Tulalip. This year, the tribes announced plans to spend $100 million on a replacement for Quil Ceda Creek Casino, the smaller of the two. The new casino will be 110,000-squarefeet on 15 acres across the street from the existing casino, at 6410 33rd Ave. NE in Tulalip. The casino will feature new entertainment and dining options, a spacious gaming floor and a 1,200-stall garage with a fast-ramp access. “About 68 percent of our workforce is non-tribal,” said Teri Gobin, vice chairwoman for the tribes. “What our businesses have done, what the casino has done, has not only benefited our community, it’s also benefited the surrounding communities and all of those businesses that have come up.”

7. A party the likes of which Everett had never seen It’s not every day that a company moves its headquarters to downtown Everett. And not very many companies are like Funko. The toys-and-collectibles maker went from a nondescript warehouse in a south Everett business park to the former Trinity Lutheran College, bringing a couple hundred creative workers to the city core. The company also opened a flagship store, a destination attraction with giantsized figures of pop culture characters, such as Marvel’s Spider-Man, Disney’s Malificient and Chewbacca of “Star Wars” outside. On the inside are worlds

to sell the medical group to kidney dialysis giant DaVita for $405 million. The deal was completed in 2016. The Everett Clinic kept its name and joined a corporation with deep pockets to fund expansion in the Puget Sound area. Just more than a year later, DaVita decided to get out of the medical group business. It struck a deal, pending regulatory approval, to sell all its medical groups, including The Everett Clinic, to Minnesota-based health insurer UnitedHealth Group. What this means for The Everett Clinic and its providers and patients remains to be seen.

devoted to the best and geekiest of pop culture. Funko held a party for the grand opening, attracting celebrities and thousands of people from all over the world. That wasn’t all for this homegrown business. Funko’s CEO and president, Brian Mariotti, also took his company public in early November.

8. Port signs developers for housing, retail at waterfront Ten years ago, the Port of Everett worked with a developer on an ambitious plan to bring hundreds of condos to the Everett waterfront. Then the recession hit, and those plans fell apart. With the housing market recovered,

the port is again looking to bring people and businesses to the waterfront. The port wants to redevelop the central waterfront, and the project gained traction this past year as companies signed on to build a hotel and apartments and bring a mix of restaurants and shops. The waterfront development and scores of homes already being built along the Snohomish River could add hundreds of homes to the city of Everett on opposite sides of downtown.

10. Everett Mall sold to California company Malls have been taking it on the chin in recent years with the rise of online retail. The Everett Mall is no different. The Macy’s store at the mall closed in the first few weeks after the 2016 holiday season. The storefront remained empty later in 2017. At least one company saw opportunity. California real estate investment firm Brixton Capital announced in October that it had purchased the mall for an undisclosed price. The 490,949-squarefoot mall, at 1402 SE Everett Mall Way, includes Sears, Regal 16 Cinemas, Burlington Coat Factory, Party, LA Fitness and other businesses. Jones Lang LaSalle Americas was selected to manage and lease the property. “Brixton Capital is very excited about the growth in the area and the long term sustainability of Everett Mall,” said Glen Bachman, the mall’s general manager, at the time of the sale. “We look forward to working with the new ownership to develop new strategies for the property.”

Two decades of creating new leaders Leadership Snohomish County is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year By Jocelyn Robinson

For The Herald Business Journal

In the 20 years since Leadership Snohomish County formed, more than 600 people have made their way through the program. The goal of these alumni? To make Snohomish County a better place to live, work and play. Kathy Coffey, who has served as Leadership Snohomish County’s executive director for four years, believes those graduates will make an effort to improve their community. “We’ve created a network of individuals that care about where they live and want to make s difference,” she said. Board member Kurt Hintze said the program started in its current form in 1997 when several key leaders realized that the same people were on all of the boards and started to wonder who would replace them. Representatives of several local organizations, including the Boeing Co., the Chamber of Commerce and the United Way, came together to develop a leadership program modeled after similar programs across the state and the country. The program got to a turning point around 2005, Hintze said. At that time, recruitment into the program had started to lag. “The focus was on the class and not on how we could get a broader reach for the program,” said Hintze, who graduated from the program in 2003. The board developed the executive director position and eventually branched into its own nonprofit. Coffey was hired into the executive director role four years ago. Coffey came to Leadership Snohomish County after working in the academic field for 16 years. The executive director position turned out to be a good fit for her. “It aligns with my skill set and passion for community-building,” she said. “I’m helping people see their strengths and learning how to empower them. My definition of leadership is the empowering of others to make a difference in they best way the can.” Coffey noted that the outreach into the program had become somewhat Everett-centered in the early 2000s, with people in the program just one degree of separation from the Leadership Snohomish County board of directors. The program underwent a change in its application process; now, anyone can nominate anyone in the community. Coffey believes that has expanded the nonprofit’s reach. In addition, nominees often feel appreciated knowing that someone else has noticed their work. “People don’t take the time to say, ‘I

ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD

Leadership Snohomish County Executive Director Kathy Coffey says people who take leadership roles in the community tend to stay in the community.

“All the work that leaders in the community are doing make this a healthier, more vibrant community for people.” — Angela Neubauer Edmonds Center for the Arts think you’re great,’” Coffey said. Since 2005, the number of applicants into the program has steadily increased. This year, there were 83 nominations for 65 spots in Leadership Snohomish County’s signature class. “It just grows every year because our economy is growing, with 200,000 people moving here in the next 10 years,” she said. LSC offers two classes for applicants: the Signature class, which is mostly for upper level managers, and the young professionals class, for people who may be in a mid-level management role. The young professionals class started seven years ago as a pilot program within Boeing. The class offers students the chance to learn how to manage and learn how to hone their leadership skills. Students do reading and develop a nonprofit project. “Once you’re involved in that work and you’ve done service, your chances of staying (in the community) increase because you have friends,” she said. “You understand where you are.” Leadership Snohomish County’s Sig-

nature program offers once a month classes on the different sectors in Snohomish County, including the courts, arts and heritage and health care. Angela Neubauer, the development manager at Edmonds Center for the Arts, graduated from the program this past summer. The connections she’s made through the program have been beneficial to her work, she said, as are the once-amonth luncheons Leadership Snohomish County holds for its alumni. Neubauer has researched the history of the program and said the idea for may actually stretch back to the early 1980s, when articles of incorporation were filed for a similar program. “The dedication to this work has really been alive in Snohomish County for quite a while now,” Neubauer said. Her research has led her to interview alumni from the program and others who have been involved throughout the years. Her favorite quote from one of her interviews was that “healthy communities don’t happen by accident.” “I think that is so true,” Neubauer said.

By the numbers 215 Community Impact Projects 23,650 hours of time to Snohomish County organizations 600 Alumni of the Signature and Young Professionals Programs 124 organizations have sent their employees through the program “All the work that leaders in the community are doing make this a healthier, more vibrant community for people.” Leadership Snohomish County plans to continue that work into the next 20 years, as more and more people move to Snohomish County. The board is planning an event for next April that takes a look at the next 20 years in the region. “It’s about who we are now and where we are going,” Coffey said. “Then once we define that, how do we build the bridge to get to that vision of where we’re going to be. “The Economic Alliance is really great at bringing businesses to our region to give the people who are moving here jobs,” she added. “But we need to make sure that those people have a place to live that’s desirable, with people invested in the community and it’s future. So we have to work together to get that done.”

Snohomish County capitalizes on HQ2 RFP By: Patrick Pierce

OUR MISSION Economic Alliance Snohomish County exists to be a catalyst for economic vitality resulting in stronger communities, increased job creation, expanded educational opportunities, and improved infrastructure.

advocate • develop • connect (P) 425.743.4567 • info@economicalliancesc.org 808 134th St SW, Suite 101 • Everett, WA 98204 economicalliancesc.org

The dust has settled after the flurry caused by Amazon’s Second Headquarters (HQ2) search; amongst the 238 proposals was the Puget Sound Regional Proposal. Economic Alliance Snohomish County (EASC) partnered with counties, cities, educational institutions, and Tribes to showcase Snohomish County’s numerous assets. You may be thinking why bother? EASC recently conducted hundreds of interviews and surveys from business owners and community leaders. Two reoccurring themes emerged: continue to diversify our economy and promote our county’s growing number of assets. Capturing a share of the booming tech economy exploding in the region was not lost on anyone as both a means and ends to these goals. HQ2 provided an opportunity to promote our assets and exceptional sites in regional and national media, including a broadcast from the Arlington-Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center, one of the largest

industrial properties in the entire region. Snohomish County is respected for its forthcoming commercial air service at Paine Field, the strength of our college and university system, over multi-billion road and transit investments, the relative affordability of our region, and our natural beauty. Our county continues to have strong aerospace and medical device industries, with over 36 and 12 times the national average of jobs, respectively. These industries make Snohomish County the center of innovation and help attract new industries (tech companies) which diversify our industry base and help our businesses compete globally. Submitting a proposal for HQ2 allowed us to highlight key sites for not only Amazon but other tech companies and leverage our assets. Yes HQ2 may be a long shot, but if we don’t “play” the game, we will never win. 2005307

POPULATION

County population could pass 800,000 More than 100,000 people have moved to Snohomish County in just 10 years By Jim Davis

The Herald Business Journal

It’s just a number, but it’s a big number: 800,000. Snohomish County could reach that in population this year — if it

hasn’t already — if growth patterns keep pace with recent years. The county has been adding thousands of people each year, according to the Census and the Washington State Office of Financial Management.

The county has added just more than 100,000 people — that’s about the size of the city of Everett — during the past decade. The county saw a lull in growth during the recession, but has been gaining about 16,000 people each of the last three years. The county reached 789,400 people last year, according the state’s Office of Financial Management. To put that in perspec-

tive, Snohomish County is larger than four states — Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska and North Dakota — as well as the District of Columbia. The county seems likely to continue to grow. According to the Office of Financial Management, every city in Snohomish County gained at least some in population from 2015 to 2016. Large apartment complexes are being added in

Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and other south county cities. Everett is adding large housing developments both along the Snohomish River and potentially along the waterfront. The North Creek area between Mill Creek and Bothell has been labeled the hottest housing market in the state. The county labels this as a challenge in one of its recent reports on growth

patterns. Growth hasn’t moved enough into cities such as Everett, Lynnwood and Bothell, which have services to handle growth. Instead, most of the population growth in the county — 53 percent between 2011 to 2016 — has been added in unincorporated parts of the county. In the past decade, growth slowed during the recession, but has picked up steam in the past three or four years. Since 2010, the county is averaging 10,886 new residents per year, according to the county. That’s only slightly more than the 10,731 new residents the county averaged between 2000 to 2010. And it’s also lower than the previous two decades; the county grew by 14,040 on average between 1990 and 2000 and 12,791 between 1980 and 1990. Percentage wise, the biggest growth gains for the county occurred between the 1950s and 1970s when the county grew at a clip of 4.4 percent each year. The county has grown at a more modest 1.5 percent since 2010. The county has added 13 percent of the state’s total population from 2010 to 2017, according to the county using figures from the Census and Washington State Office of Financial Management. Snohomish County remains the third largest county in the state behind King and Pierce counties. King County had a population of 2.153 million last year. Pierce County, which went over 800,000 in 2010, had a population of 859,400 last year. Snohomish County ranks as the 79th largest county in the U.S. and the 22nd largest county in the West. In the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Alaska, Oregon and Idaho, the county ranks as the fourth largest county behind King, Pierce and Multnomah counties.

Thanks for letting us serve you for the past 20 years! While so many things have changed since we began our journey in Everett over 20 years ago, we feel more things have remained the same. Coastal has always led with people. Our employees utilize their strengths to set the course and are empowered to do the right things for their clients. That means advocating for their customers when others wouldn’t, or championing their own causes because they feel personally invested. Our success is a direct result of making business personal and we have you to thank. -Eric Sprink, President and CEO

Dan Ollis, Whidbey Coffee Family man Mud runner Coffee connoisseur

Each and every one of us is an original. Shaped by unique inuences that make us who we are today. Here at Heritage Bank, we think differences can build a better bank, too. That’s why we share the best ideas from across all of our branches and local communities with one goal in mind: to serve our customers better every day. By sharing our strengths, we’re able to offer customers like Dan Ollis—and you—more than a community bank. But rather, a community oƒ banks.
