LAKE STEVENS — Back in the day (2006 to be precise), the current LSPD HQ was home to Pat McCourt’s Barclays North Inc (BNI), and Pat himself held court from a richly-appointed office on the second story of the current police HQ.

At its peak, Barclays North was one of Lake Stevens largest employers and was considered one of the PNW region’s most influential developers.

BNI headquarters included its own government affairs wing and McCourts acolytes would fan out to city council and planning commission meetings across the puget sound.

Like so many other businesses in the real estate field, Barclays North was felled by the 2008 mortgage crisis.

McCourt, a serial entrepreneur and Lake Stevens fixture, is as known for his ability to rebound as he is for his development acumen – so it’s no surprise to see him once again impacting the development of Lake Stevens through his project at Soper Hill.
