A New Era of Music in Everett: Uniting Two Forces for Greater Impact

For decades, the Snohomish County Music Project has served as a cornerstone in our community, offering more than music—it has offered healing, connection, and empowerment. Through its unwavering commitment to artistic citizenship, it has used music as a force for social and economic development, addressing mental health, trauma, and inclusion with compassion and creativity. It’s been a quiet but powerful rhythm beneath Everett’s growth and resilience.

Tonight, at this unforgettable EMI Gala, we are honored to announce the beginning of an exciting new chapter—one that honors the legacy of the Snohomish County Music Project while expanding its mission for even greater reach.

We are thrilled to share that Snohomish County Music Project is officially joining forces with Everett Music Initiative.

This is more than a merger. It’s a meaningful union of two passionate community builders—one rooted in social change and healing, the other in elevating Everett as a music and cultural destination. Together, we step into the future with a shared vision: to build community through unforgettable musical experiences, to champion artist development and advocacy, and to amplify Everett’s identity as a vibrant, creative hub.

While the Music Project will no longer be creating its own music programs directly, its soul lives on—through EMI’s dynamic events, expanded artist support, and community-driven programming. This strategic evolution ensures that even more music-centric projects can flourish—ones led by the community, for the community.

✨ We invite you to celebrate this union with us—not as an end, but as a powerful beginning. A promise that the music will not only continue, but grow louder, deeper, and more transformative than ever before. ✨
