Community Transit considers buying south Everett Goodwill
EVERETT — Community Transit is in talks to possibly purchase a south Everett Goodwill location to support the expansion of its operations, board members shared at a meeting Wednesday.
The transit agency’s board of directors made a vote to consider the purchase at a November 2025 meeting. On Wednesday, the board amended the 2026-27 biennial budget to reflect the cost of the potential purchase, as well as the revenue that could come from leasing the building back to Goodwill.
As part of the amendment, the agency now has the budget authority to spend $25.4 million to acquire the property, should the board move forward with buying it. The amended budget also reflects a possible $2.7 million in lease revenue Community Transit could collect through 2027, according to board materials.
The Goodwill, an outlet thrift store located at 2208 W Casino Road, is situated next door to Community Transit’s current office space. Sound Transit’s Link light rail extension to Everett will also include a station close to the building, which is located near Paine Field.
