Angel of the Winds Arena
indoor arena in Everett, Washington, U.S
Angel of the Winds Arena (originally known as Everett Events Center) is a multi-purpose sports arena complex in Everett, Washington, United States, designed and developed by the Everett Public Facilities District. It opened in October 2003 and primarily serves as the home of the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League. The arena has 8,149 seats in its ice hockey configuration and 10,000 for concerts and other events. The naming rights to the venue were sold to Comcast in 2007 and subsequently to Angel of the Winds Casino Resort in 2017. The venue has hosted a variety of concerts and other performances, including the Ringling Brothers Circus, Disney on Ice, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Sesame Street Live.
The venue also hosted 2008 Skate America, a three-day ice-skating championship that is part of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. The event set an attendance record for Skate America and the arena was selected as host for the 2018 edition. Angel of the Winds Arena is scheduled to host the 2026 edition as well.
History
Construction on the arena began in April 2002 after the demolition of two city blocks in downtown Everett, which included several historic buildings along Hewitt Avenue from the early 20th century. The Everett Historical Commission refused to grant waivers for the demolition, but were overruled by the Everett City Council.

Why this record matters
The phrase “indoor arena in Everett, Washington, U.S” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3684032. Authority coordinates are 47.979, -122.204. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2007, 2017 and 2008.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
