Wyatt and Bethel Rucker left an indelible mark on Everett. Around 1890, the pair bought the land that now makes up the city before selling off plats to investors and new residents. Today, the brothers still lend their name to a major city thoroughfare, a neighborhood, and two flashy landmarks: The pyramidal family tomb in Evergreen Cemetery and a mansion looking out over Port Gardner Bay. The latter hit the market last week for a cool $3.5 million.
While the exterior is a mix of styles, as its 1975 National Register of Historic Places nomination form notes, its exterior look is more restrained than whimsical. It takes the most stately parts of Queen Anne and Italianate architecture and blends in some colonial and Georgian revival styles. A porch with doric columns wraps around a symmetrical brick facade; thick, bracketed eaves highlight large gables on the top floor.

Editor’s Update Tuesday Feb 9th 1:20 PM:
Just got a note from Catherine Soper that the Seaspan Brilliance is actually headed to Vancouver B.C. from Tacoma and is expected to leave Port Gardner Bay tomorrow.
The Seaspan Brilliance is sitting in a Federal Anchorage area off the Port of Everett. Click photo to enlarge.
The containers on that ship are significantly larger than those on the pier at the south marina.Had a few calls over the weekend from people wondering why that large container ship was anchored in Port Gardner Bay.
The Ship is the Seaspan Brilliance out of Hong Kong. We checked with Catherine Soper at the Port of Everett who advised that the vessel was headed to the Port of Tacoma but has been waiting for berth availability there.
J.E. McAmis wrapping up Snohomish dredging works January 25, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
J.E. McAmis crews are wrapping up work on the Snohomish/Everett clamshell dredging project, which is being performed for the Army Corps’ Seattle District.
In their latest update, the company announced that they will complete the Snohomish dredging this week, moving ahead to the next stop, the Bonneville Dam.
Overall, this project included maintenance dredging of the Snohomish River Federal Navigation Channel in Everett, WA, with the use of a mechanical clamshell dredge.
During the works, the contractor removed around 160,000 cubic yards of dredged material from the area. The dredged material was taken to the Port Gardner site for open water disposal.
