Kimberly-Clark Sells Former Everett Mill Site to Port for $33M

The Port of Everett Commission unanimously authorized a deal to buy 77 acres from Kimberly-Clark Corporation for $33 million. The land includes 58 acres of a former mill site that closed in 2012, which will be used for maritime development. Another 19 acres of tidelands north of the boat launch will be used for river management and public access.

Kimberly-Clark will conduct upland cleanup work, remove crushed materials and back fill. The work is expected to start no later than April 1, 2020; and be complete no later than the end of 2020. The former mill site is in the heart of the Port’s federally-secure, urban deep-water maritime complex.

Port of Everett’s Lisa Lefeber says, “This property is critical to support our working waterfront for decades to come, and we will continue to work expeditiously to restore family wage jobs to the site, enhance trade and ensure compatible land use with Naval Station Everett.”

Connect Seattle is set for November 7th at Coterie Worklounge. Plan to join us for the afternoon of CRE conversations and networking. You can find out more information and register on this link.
