Everett adds fifth 'no sit, no lie' buffer zone at 41st Street
EVERETT — The city of Everett implemented a fifth “no sit, no lie” buffer zone in mid-December around the busy corridor of 41st street, according to a city website.
The new buffer zone stretches between 39th Street to the north and 43rd Street to the south, and from Friday Avenue to the west to an area beyond Wetmore Avenue to the east.
Buffer zones ban individuals from sitting or lying down on public property in certain areas of the city, and prohibit people from passing out food or supplies to those violating the ordinance without a permit. The law has been contentious since its implementation.
The city first approved a “no sit, no lie” zone in 2021, limited to a 10-block area east of Broadway, as part of a move to build a pallet shelter project there.
