Coffee Chats - Anchoring Regional Growth: Maritime and Defense Activity at the Port of Everett

Part of Economic Alliance Snohomish County's monthly Coffee Chats series, bringing you updates on relevant topics over your morning coffee.

Join Economic Alliance Snohomish County (EASC) for Anchoring Regional Growth: Maritime and Defense Activity at the Port of Everett, part of our Coffee Chats series, sponsored by Port of Everett, on Tuesday, July 7 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. via Zoom.

Maritime and defense-related activity at the Port of Everett plays an important role in supporting regional economic growth, skilled jobs, and infrastructure investment. Join us for a timely conversation exploring how the Port’s maritime operations and non-operational Navy presence contribute to local supply chains, business opportunities, workforce development, and long-term regional competitiveness.

This session will focus on economic impact and regional planning, positioning EASC as a neutral convener supporting employers, industry partners, and community stakeholders. Rather than centering on operations, security, or defense policy, the discussion will highlight how maritime and defense activity strengthens regional resilience through infrastructure investment, industry partnerships, and workforce pathways.

Panelist announcements coming soon!

Through this conversation, attendees will gain insight into how the Port of Everett serves as a regional economic anchor—supporting business growth, trade activity, and economic opportunity across Snohomish County and the broader region. The discussion will also help set the stage for EASC’s upcoming Port Report by providing broader context around the Port’s role in shaping regional economic development.

This session is ideal for employers, maritime and manufacturing businesses, workforce and education partners, infrastructure stakeholders, and community leaders interested in understanding the Port’s long-term economic impact and regional significance.
