Proposed changes include:
- a new eastbound lane between Seaway Boulevard and I-5
- better signal operations at the SR 526/SR 527 intersection
- a widened Seaway Boulevard on-ramp
- improvements at the SR 526 ramp to northbound I-5
For those who wish to participate but do not have broadband service, free WiFi access is available at these Drive-In WiFi Hotspot locations:
- Evergreen Branch Library, 9512 Evergreen Way, Everett
- Mariner Library, 520 128th St. SW, Suites A9 and A10, Everett

These improvements were initially evaluated by an advisory group that included representatives from public works, transit, planning agencies, local business interests and freight. The project is funded by the 2015 Connecting Washington transportation package and is intended to support the growing economy of Everett. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022.
