History
Naval Station Everett’s history began in 1983 when the Secretary of the Navy first proposed a new Puget Sound area naval base as part of the Strategic Homeport concept. On April 17, 1984, Everett was selected from among 13 ports as the ideal location for the new homeport. Congress approved the first funds for construction on Oct. 2, 1986 and the official ground breaking ceremony was on Nov. 9, 1987. The Navy awarded the $56 million carrier pier construction contract on Sept. 9, 1988, and in June 1992, three Navy ships participated in the formal opening of the new pier.
