Public Benefit

The City Hall is a welcome and integral addition to Mukilteo’s city fabric. Working with the Steering Committee, ARC facilitated the assessment of 8 sites within the city to determine the best fit location for the new City Hall.  

The new City Hall entry features a soaring two-story gallery that takes its place between the Hall’s council chambers and administrative areas. Highly visible from the street, the gallery reads as a beacon of light inviting community involvement in local governance.  The entry plaza allows for larger public events to extend out from the Council Chambers and connects through to the main lobby. 

Innovative sustainable design elements include geothermal piping for heat control, pervious paving, bio-retention swales and rain gardens, and a vegetated roof over council chambers.
