Happy 250th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps!

As we honor this milestone in the beautiful city of Everett, Washington, we celebrate 250 years of courage, service, and dedication by the Few and the Proud. According to the official Marine250 campaign, the U.S. Marine Corps was founded on November 10, 1775 and is marking a year-long tribute to this legacy of honor, courage and commitment.

While there’s not yet a confirmed major public event listed specifically in Everett today, the national celebration includes dozens of local gatherings, commemoration events, and community-based tributes happening across the country. If you are a veteran, current Marine, family member, or simply someone who wishes to recognize this day — take a moment to reflect, thank a Marine, and join the spirit of the occasion.

Keith Bruce of Sound Point Real Estate, a proud Navy veteran, salutes all Marines and their families on this special day. With decades of experience helping veterans, active-duty personnel and their families in the greater Puget Sound region, Keith understands the value of service, trust and community.

Here’s to honor, legacy, and unwavering commitment — Happy Birthday Marines. Semper Fidelis.
