Everett City Council district commission sticks with map
EVERETT — Everett City Council districts likely will keep their basic shapes despite some pleas to remake the two northern districts with Broadway as the dividing line.
The redistricting commission, a group of nine Everett residents appointed to review Census data for adjustments to council districts, voted unanimously Sept. 8 to recommend the map. It slightly shifts each district to keep the total population within 3% over or under the average of 22,126 residents.
Some people, including several from the Delta neighborhood, continued their call to remake one district east of Broadway from the northern end as far south as the Valley View neighborhood.
Members of the group who pushed for City Council districts have criticized the commission’s process to adjust the map and present it to the public.
