This week on the podcast we sat down with Snohomish County's YMCA Chief Operations Officer Ted Wenta to talk about the new Everett YMCA building. Preparing for the largest transition the Everett Family YMCA has seen since 1920, Ted fills in all the details we've been curious about. Where will the new building be located?
