Apartments will rise from the site of the former YMCA annex
EVERETT — After months of work to dismantle the former downtown Everett YMCA’s interior, demolition on the exterior of the facility’s annex is underway along Rockefeller Avenue.
Last week, crews started tearing down structures added to the red-brick YMCA in the 1960s and 1980s. The original structure was built in the 1920s on California Street.
Eventually, over 260 apartments will replace the YMCA annex and a parking lot across the street.
“I support this. I don’t consider that a historic building,” said Jack O’Donnell, a member of Historic Everett, which is dedicated to preserving historical architecture in the city. “If we’re getting housing in place of that, and it serves no purpose now with the YMCA not there, then that’s a win.”
