The wreckage of a four-alarm fire still smoldered, but Port of Everett officials said Friday that the Waterfront Place Apartments are still expected to be built, in one form or another.
The 266-unit apartment complex had been under construction on Everett’s waterfront for most of a year, when the more southern of two buildings erupted into a four-story inferno around 5:45 p.m. Thursday. The cause is still unknown, and detectives announced Friday they are seeking fire photos and videos from the public. An “early conservative estimate” put the loss at $25 million to $30 million, not counting heat damage to its twin apartment building, or the two house fires it caused nearby.
