Chimneys in Everett
Everett was incorporated in 1893, and the Snohomish County Courthouse opened in 1910 and the Monte Cristo Hotel in 1925. Northwest Everett, Rucker Hill and Riverside each include a historic district. Houses in those districts may be 100 years old or more, with chimneys that are often original brick.
The city sits on the Port Gardner Peninsula and the Snohomish River delta, with 11 miles of saltwater shoreline and 11 miles of freshwater shoreline. That is a lot of water on every side. Salt air, river damp and rain together are hard on metal parts and brick. Newer neighborhoods have also been built recently, including 235 single-family homes at the Riverfront in 2016.

Questions from Everett homeowners
I own a home in an Everett historic district. Can you work on the chimney?
Yes. Check with the city about any review that applies before you change the exterior, and we will match materials to the existing brick.

It has a lot of water around it, both salt and fresh. Moisture is the main enemy of brick and mortar.
