Baker Heights pitch: Mixed-income tenants, 'transformation' of Delta area

EVERETT — The Everett Housing Authority must complete an environmental impact statement for its proposed redevelopment of the long-vacant Baker Heights housing in north Everett.

The public housing built during World War II was shuttered in 2019 when it become too expensive to renovate. The housing authority has proposed replacing it with the Park District, a mixed-income, mixed-use campus with some buildings up to 12 stories and 1,500 housing units and 45,000 square feet of commercial space.

Everett government affairs director Jennifer Gregerson wasn’t surprised that the potential change to the property from single-story buildings required environmental review.

A schedule for the proposed project has the authority publishing a draft of its environmental impact statement by this fall for public comment and review. Public meetings are likely through the winter.
