In 1922, the Y established a boys’ camp at Lake Roesiger and the next year at Lake Goodwin.

Black History Month, and more importantly, the study of black history, is greatly owed to Doctor Carter G. Woodson, who first launched “[Black] History Week” in 1926.

By 1949, the number of youth served by the Y had grown markedly and new programs were developed to support youth.

In 1988, the Everett YMCA changed its name to the YMCA of Snohomish County.
