A new building for north Everett

Snohomish County Business Journal/KIMBERLY HILDEN The Lamoureux Building at Wetmore Avenue and 19th Street in Everett has taken shape over the course of the year, with the foundation having been laid in early January. The 12,000-square-foot building houses both offices and apartments and is the brainchild of longtime Windermere real estate agent Barb Lamoureux. Newland Construction was the general contractor for the project, and Architectural Design Associates was the architect. Frontier Bank was the lender.

Partnering for community
The Human Services Council of Snohomish County recently recognized a number of local businesses, government agencies and nonprofit organizations during its 19th annual Partnerships Forum Awards banquet, including:

• The Snohomish Health District, whose Access to Baby and Child Dentistry program received a Business Partnerships Award.
• Compass Health, Bank of America, Cascade Bank, Frontier Bank and KeyBank, all of which collaborated to make Compass Health’s sixth annual “A Diversity of Talents” art show a success, receiving a Business Partnerships Award in the process.
• WSU/Snohomish County Extension, working in cooperation with Snohomish County and the Tulalip Tribes schools and social service agencies to help low-income children and adults learn and practice healthful eating habits and physical activity through the Food $ense program, which garnered the Collaboration Award.
