Angel of the Winds Arena, Indoor sports arena in Everett, United States
Angel of the Winds Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena in Everett, Washington, with a broad rounded facade of greenish metal above gridded glass panels and white masts with cables rising above. It seats 8,149 for ice hockey and up to 10,000 for concerts. The complex includes the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center and the Everett Community Ice Rink, a public rink with NHL dimensions of 200 by 85 feet.
Construction began in April 2002 after two downtown blocks along Hewitt Avenue were demolished, despite objections from the Everett Historical Commission. The Everett Events Center opened on September 27, 2003, at a cost of $71.5 million, and hosted its first WHL game on October 4, 2003. Comcast bought the naming rights in 2007; the Stillaguamish Tribe's Angel of the Winds Casino Resort took them over in December 2017 under a ten-year, $3.4 million deal.
The Everett Silvertips, the city's Western Hockey League franchise, play home games here; in their first season, 2003–04, they won the WHL Western Conference Championship. The team name refers to the nearby Cascade peaks, and the arena also hosts the Seattle-based Tilted Thunder Rail Birds banked-track roller derby league.
The arena complex includes the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center, a 14,000 sq ft meeting facility with a ballroom and conference rooms, plus the Everett Community Ice Rink, a public sheet at official NHL dimensions of 200 by 85 feet. The venue sits in downtown Everett and is the largest events hall in Snohomish County.
