ABOUT THE MUSIC PROJECT

In a significant transition that marks the end of an era yet carries forward its foundational mission, the Snohomish County Music Project is shifting its focus towards building community through unforgettable musical experiences, artist advocacy and development, and amplifying Everett's identity as a destination. While it may no longer directly create the music that has healed, strengthened, and celebrated our community, this strategic evolution ensures that even more community-led, music-centric projects can take flight, fostering the same transformative change the organization has been passionate about for years.
