When Javier Corona decided to move from his Centralia hometown for college, he looked for schools with a great education and a place to stay. “When I saw EvCC, I knew I didn’t need to look anywhere else,” said Corona, a resident assistant who lives in EvCC’s newest student housing building, Cedar Hall. Corona, a sophomore psychology major, cut the ribbon at a celebration of Cedar Hall on Thursday (March 1). The dedication also included a ceremonial blessing from representatives from the Tulalip Tribes. EvCC’s campus, including Cedar Hall, is located on historical tribal lands. The 132-bed student housing building, located at 931 Broadway, opened in September 2017. At Cedar Hall, students can choose a studio, three-bedroom or four-bedroom apartment. Each apartment has private bedrooms with a shared living room and full kitchen. Rent includes all utilities, wireless internet and furniture.

A Snohomish-based real estate development and architecture firm is building new student housing near Everett Community College. The project includes 120 student rooms, common areas for the residents to gather, and an outside courtyard. Kōz, partnering with a local investor, will retain ownership of the building.
