The area where a stretch of brick road is crossed by a railroad bridge is the only portion unchanged from the Everett Massacre.
The 1910 railroad bridge and brick-paved road are the only remaining landmarks which have not changed since the Everett Massacre of Nov. 5, 1916.
The roadway and bridge, at the west end of Hewitt Avenue just north of the old Everett railroad depot, function as an unintentional frame containing a view of Everett’s working waterfront – in particular, the section of the harbor where a pier called City Dock once stood.It was on that dock and in the waters just west of it where gunfire erupted between law enforcement on shore and labor activists aboard two steam vessels.had claimed the lives of at least seven men.
It was that strike which ultimately led to members of International Workers of the World – known as the “IWW” or “Wobblies” – coming to Everett in 1916 to take part in public speaking events at the corner of Hewitt Avenue and Wetmore Street, about five blocks from the threatened bricks and railroad bridge. Those Wobblies were run out of town during the summer, and it was their threatened return that led to violence on Nov. 5, 1916.
While a recently installed boulder with a plaque commemorating the Everett Massacre will be temporarily removed for construction, Tarver said it will be returned once construction is over.“The current design calls for the brick pavers to be removed on the east side of the BNSF mainline,” Tarver wrote.
