EVERETT — Jeremy and Elizabeth Reed have been through a lot since they bought Interface Technologies Northwest in 2018.

Over the past couple of years, the owners of the Everett-based technology company survived a pandemic, major customers going out of business and global supply chain shortages in electronics.

“Now,” Elizabeth Reed said, “The thing that’s going to take us out is a baseball field.”

Their company — along with at least 16 others — is within the two square block radius between Hewitt Avenue and Pacific Avenue along Broadway. That site, following a Dec. 18 City Council vote, is set to be the home of a potential multipurpose stadium the city hopes to build for the minor league Everett AquaSox. After frustrations with what they see as a lack of communication from the city, the two are looking for options of what to do next.
