I much appreciate everyone’s info on this location. I am the current property manager for the building known as Port Gardner, which we lease to Funko LLC for their headquarters and flagship retail store. I have photo documented the elements of the Balboa that were exposed in early 2017, and Everett’s Historical Commission viewed before it was covered again by a drop ceiling.
I’m currently documenting the history of both buildings, pulling from several sources, in consultation with local historians. Though “Port Gardner Building” was placed on the Everett Register of Historic Places in 1994, we hope to soon have the Balboa added by amendment so it can be independently recognized.
My goal for 2018 is to complete this historical narrative of both buildings, and mount side-by-side plaques outside the common wall. Stay Tuned!
