INSIDE THIS ISSUE: News You Can Use 1 Travel, Tourism & Hospitality 3 News from VIC Services 7 The Sports Pages 10 Around Snohomish County 11 time stuck in traffic on Interstate 5 and more time enjoying your vacation or making the most of your business trip. Imagine spending more time getting to the airport than actually flying to a destination such as Portland, Oregon. That s what many travelers, who live north of Seattle, and drive to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, frequently experience. According to publicly available traffic data, by flying out of Paine Field, Everett residents, for example, could shave up to 80 minutes off their airport commute, during peak traffic congestion. Alaska Airlines made the announcement on May 17 in a press release. As our region continues to grow at a record pace and Sea-Tac Airport nears capacity, the time is right to bring air service to our valued guests living in the North Sound, said CEO of Alaska Airlines Brad Tilden. Today s news means less This new service is great news for Snohomish County, said Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers. Businesses will have easier access to major markets and leisure travelers can skip the commute down south, saving time and fuel. For decades, Alaska Airlines has been a responsible neighbor in our region, and we welcome them even closer to home at Paine Field. Alaska Airlines plans to operate nine daily departures from Paine Field using a fuel-efficient fleet of Boeing 737 and Embraer 175 aircraft. This new service will deliver all the (Continued)
2 July 2017 Page 2 comfort guests expect on an Alaska Airlines flight, while taking hundreds of cars off of I-5 every day. Alaska understands the local market, so having our Seattle-based airline be the first to provide scheduled passenger service from Everett just confirms the value commercial flights will bring to the local economy, Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson said. Alaska is an industry leader in service and reliability, and our citizens and businesses will benefit from having such a convenient travel option right here in Everett. Led by Propeller Airports and Snohomish County, construction of the state of the art terminal is slated to begin in June. Alaska plans to announce routes, flight schedules and begin selling tickets early next year. Propeller couldn t be prouder than to partner with the hometown airline on this new service, said Brett Smith, CEO of Propeller Airports. As Alaska does everyday, our goal is to put the customer first, making the travel experience truly exceptional. Runyan Associates for the Washington State Destination Marketing Association. Travel spending in Snohomish County topped $1.04 billion in 2016 a year-over-year increase of 2.8 percent. Tourism is Snohomish County s second largest industry. Direct tourismrelated jobs employ 10,850 people in the county, contributing $297.2 million in payroll, $21.7 million in local taxes and $54.3 million in state taxes. Tourism and outdoor recreation in Snohomish County is a significant contributor to our local economy, said Amy Spain, executive director of the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau. The things that make Snohomish County a great place for visitors also make it a great place to live. The development of tourism assets from attractions and hotels, to biking trails and parks, and our natural assets of coastline and mountain peaks make Snohomish County a wonderful place for visitors to explore. As reported by Smith Travel Research, Snohomish County ranked third in occupancy behind King and Clark County with an annualized occupancy of 68.9% in Although occupancy was down slightly over the previous year, said Spain, the lodging community was able to hold their rate integrity even with the increase of hotel room supply with the completion of new hotel projects. Tourism, however, is about much more than hotel stays. Tourism is a key economic development strategy and positively impacts a cross section of businesses, and reaches all communities in Snohomish County. Travel spurs growth, builds a strong tax base, and creates jobs that cannot be outsourced. Travel promotion is a wise strategic investment. It kicks off a virtuous cycle of increased traveler visits, greater traveler spending in local businesses, faster job creation and higher tax revenues that far surpass the initial investment. Travel Spending in Snohomish County Tops $1 Billion Snohomish County ranked fourth out of 39 counties in Washington State in 2016 visitor spending after King, Pierce and Spokane counties, according to the report, Washington State County Travel Impacts & Visitor Volume for P, prepared by Dean (Continued)
3 July 2017 Page 3 Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers said, Those of us who live and work in Snohomish County know that it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Now that tourism s impact has surpassed $1 billion per year, we must ensure this cornerstone of our local economy continues to thrive. With increasing numbers of tourists and growing economic impact, we will continue to innovate, attracting even more tourist visits. Economic development is one of our highest priorities, and tourism is a key component of our economic development plans, said Terry Ryan, Snohomish County Council member and Lodging Tax Advisory Committee chair. More tourists result in more jobs and an improved standard of living in our communities. We are fully committed to supporting Snohomish County s thriving tourism industry. *Note: The total is rounded for reporting purposes. Travel, Tourism & Hospitality News Public Input Needed for Aviation Attraction Wayfinding Signage at Paine Field Snohomish County Parks, Recreation and Tourism invite the public to review visitor attraction signage concepts considered for Paine Field and adjacent attractions on July 25, The project, funded with county lodging taxes, includes plans for the signage system, also called wayfinding. There are five major tourist attractions located in and around the airport campus. This phased project considers the effectiveness of existing signage, vehicle connections, place-making elements, and a plan with timeline for future implementation. Concepts presented at the July meeting are created by Tangram Design LLC, an environmental graphics and wayfinding firm from Denver, CO. The designs are informed by a Tangram site assessment. A community engagement workshop, held in March, reviewed the assessment and community feedback contributed to the final draft designs. Public feedback is vital in this kind of decision making and I hope that we receive some direction for how our citizens would like this project to move forward. This visitor attraction signage system is central to getting people to the many attractions at Paine Field, said Snohomish County Council Chair, Brian Sullivan. Attendees favored the idea of an aviation attraction district. Signing a district is more effective than advertising a series of stand-alone experiences, said Snohomish County Parks and Tourism Director, Tom Teigen. Ideas taken from this meeting will aid in further design development, resulting in an effective visitor wayfinding system unique to Paine Field. The five existing visitor attractions at Paine Field include: Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum Historic Flight Foundation Museum of Flight Restoration Center High Trek Adventure Aerial Course at Paine Field Community Park The public event will be held on Tuesday, July 25, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn conference room, 8401 Paine Field Blvd, Mukilteo. RSVP to the event by ing Annique Bennett at, Annique.Bennett@co. snohomish.wa.us UK Travel Writer Hosted for July FAM Tour Snohomish County Tourism Bureau, in conjunction with the Port of Seattle, recently hosted Lyndsay Sutton a writer for the Trinity Mirror, owner of the majority of regional daily newspapers in England, Scotland and Wales.

5 July 2017 Page 5 The Port of Edmonds and 13 organizations recently received funding for several projects that will positively impact tourism to their communities and greater Snohomish County. Port of Edmonds Receives Tourism Promotion Grant The Port of Seattle awarded a $10,000 special funding grant to the Port of Edmonds to promote Edmonds as a preferred tourist destination. The Port of Edmonds uses Your Homeport Advantage and Choice Destination as a brand statement with Quality, Service, Value, Convenience in support of that position. The Port is aggressively implementing a marketing plan that emphasizes tourism as a core strategic imperative with dollar multipliers that strengthen the local economy of Edmonds. An example of that work is the partnership between the Port and Puget Sound Express (PSE), the latter operating whale watching excursions from Edmonds Marina since PSE is now in their third year of operation at the Port of Edmonds and this year expects to bring over 15,000 new visitors to Edmonds. Many of these day visitors also discover the local attractions such as art galleries, restaurants and shops, and return for additional visits that increase sales and awareness for local businesses. The tourism promotion grant is intended to grow this type of visitorship. The Port works with the City of Edmonds and the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau to create innovative marketing strategies that will leverage the funding provided by the Port of Seattle. This grant funding is a force multiplier that enables the Port to expand our marketing reach into new segments that extends outside our local region, said Fred Gouge, commission president, including inland areas such as Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix and many other population centers. He continued, On behalf of the Port of Edmonds, I would like to thank the Port of Seattle as well as the City of Edmonds and the Tourism Bureau for their support and collaboration. Teamwork is essential to a successful tourism marketing campaign that will benefit the economic vitality of the entire community. Funding for Heritage Projects Since 2007, the Snohomish County Historic Preservation Commission reviews requests for funding the restoration or repair of archeological and historical resources unique to Snohomish County s local history. This year, the Commission received and reviewed over $100,000 in funding requests from local organizations. After evaluating the benefit that each project would have for the citizens of Snohomish County, they recommended to the County Council where funds should be allocated based on promoting the public s access to county history, professional development and capital improvements, or collections management. The funds are raised through a $1 recording document surcharge and set aside for preservation projects. Listed here are the projects the Historic Preservation Commission recommended and was approved by County Council for funding in 2017: The City of Edmonds has requested help with the exterior restoration of the original skylight on the Edmonds

Snohomish County Parks requested funding for public education about the history of Snohomish County by telling the history of seven individual park sites. The Edmonds South Snohomish County Historical Society would develop a travelling exhibit highlighting the history of Edmonds and South Snohomish County. The League of Snohomish County Historical Organizations would create hardcopy and electronic mobile tours of Snohomish County museums and genealogical societies. The Granite Falls Historic Society s project seeks to upgrade both hardware and software to enable improved access to maps of local historical sites. The Stanwood Area Historical Society is requesting support to repair and restore 11 of the original vintage windows in the D.O. Pearson home that was built in The City of Lynnwood Parks Department proposes to support teaching about the history of Lynwood with a virtual tour of historic Lynnwood sites, the creation of large visual displays and supporting heritage tours. The History Link project would add Snohomish County historical information to HistoryLink, the on-line encyclopedia of Washington State history. The Monroe Historical Society would scan and digitally enhance the newspaper collection and add Optical Character Recognition software to make the newspapers easily searchable. The Sky Valley Arts Council s proposed project is the restoration of the Startup Gym. This project is to bring the electrical and plumbing up to current standards. The Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society Project would develop interpretive signs to increase public awareness of the significance of the Arlington Pioneer Memorial Cemetery.
