The Broadway Campus Redevelopment project is a commitment to the future of downtown Everett and to our clients – those we serve now and in the future in Snohomish County. This redevelopment will allow us to expand our service capacity and deliver care in a purpose-built facility that reflects dignity for our clients and the level of clinical excellence our teams deliver daily.
