Demolition is done at K-C mill site

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT The industrial tangle that once was Kimberly-Clark Corp.s Everett mill is no longer a figurative blank slate, but a literal one as well.

A contractor wrapped up a years worth of demolition work this month, leaving most the waterfront property as flat as a parade ground.

Its a startling contrast with the brick and steel edifices that loomed there after the mill shut down for good in April 2012.

Theres still some equipment there that has to be broken up and taken away, but the actual demo work is done, Kimberly-Clark spokesman Bob Brand said July 18.

A large, beige warehouse will remain standing at the south end of the property, unless a new owner decides to knock it down. For now, the roof is the seasonal home of hundreds of Caspian terns. There are no plans to make the birds leave, Brand said.

Dallas-based Kimberly-Clark continues to market the property, hoping a buyer will snap up all 66 acres in one piece. Brand said theres a lot of interest, but no sale to report.

About 700 workers lost jobs when the mill closed.
