Over the years you’ve seen MyEverettNews showcase Everett Firefighters raising funds for the annual LLS Firefighter Stairclimb. That’s where firefighters in full bunker gear and airbottle climb 1,356 steps up the staircase of the Columbia Tower in downtown Seattle. Prior to the climb firefighters hold fundraising events. We’ve shown you firefighters “filling the boot” in front of the Everett Costco over the last few years.
Due to COVID-19 the event has gone virtual and this Saturday, members of the Everett Fire Department will “climb where they are” doing the 1,356 steps at their homes, neighborhoods and other meaningful places.
