The Everett Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library building located in Everett, Washington, USA listed on the National Register of Historic Places and part of the Snohomish County Government campus.[2] The building occupies the southeast corner of the intersection of Oakes Avenue and Wall Street in the city's central business district.
History
It was constructed in 1904 with a gift of
County Executive. Subsequently, the building was occupied by the Snohomish County Museum of History, a three-year arrangement that ended in 2011 when lease negotiations with the county failed.[7] Although it is part of the Snohomish County Government Complex, the building stood vacant for several years.[8]
In 2018, the Carnegie Building was repurposed for use as a social services facility to treat homelessness and drug use.[9]
