History

Henry Cogswell College was founded in 1979 in Kirkland, Washington as Cogswell College North (at the time, an affiliate of Cogswell College in Sunnyvale, California), largely to provide engineering education to local Boeing employees. [2] The college also operated night and summer classes at Shoreline Community College before permanently moving to south Kirkland. [3]

The college moved to Everett, located near Boeing's largest assembly plant, in 1996, leasing space in a former Bon Marché department store. [2] In 2000, the college moved into the historic Federal Building in downtown Everett, spending $2 million to renovate the 1917-built office building. [4] Off-campus classes were also held[ when? ] at a Boeing facility in the south Puget Sound (about 30 miles from Everett) to accommodate students living in that area. Limited classes continued to be offered at the Boeing facility even after the main campus moved to Everett. The institution closed on September 1, 2006, due to a decline in enrollment and substantial deficit. [5]
