Everett Community College history

In 1957, construction began on a new college campus in north Everett.

The campus, which originally included seven buildings, opened in 1958.

On Oct 24, 1966, Robert Kennedy & Senator Henry Jackson spoke to hundreds of EJC students and community members at the college's student union.

The college's name changed to Everett Community College in 1967 to conform with the Washington State Community College Act.
