Quil Ceda Village will become a unique Master Business Park, distinguished from other business & industrial parks within the Snohomish County area. The distinction of Quil Ceda Village begins with its concept as a series of retail, entertainment, business and light industrial “estates” situated within a unified landscape and environmental setting. This concept will be realized through an emphasis on quality site planning, architectural self-sustainability – environmental diligence, landscape, sign, and lighting design.
