Everett Unity History
Unity has been active in Everett since the 1940's. In it's early years the group met in a room on Hewitt Avenue above a drug store. A Unity minister from Seattle would travel to Everett for classes and services. Later the church met in a building at the corner of Everett Avenue and Wetmore Avenue with Reverend George Emerson Stone. In about 1965 they moved out to south Everett near what is now the junction of the Boeing Freeway and I-5. In 1980 they moved to the corner of Pacific Avenue and Lombard Avenue. After a fire that totally destroyed the church building on February 11, 1999, the church congregation met in the Historic Everett Theater until January of 2000. Then they moved to their current home at the corner of 33rd Street and Colby Avenue in downtown Everett.
The present minister, Robert K. Eagan, came to Everett in March, 1982. He entered the Unity ministry in 1978 after completing the Unity Ministry Training program at Unity Village, Missouri. His first ministry experience was at the Unity church in Jackson, Mississippi, from 1978 to 1982. His boyhood home is Olympia, Washington, where his family had been active in business since 1946.
