Mike Price, the Everett High School graduate who turned Washington State into a Rose Bowl program, will be inducted into the Snohomish County Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday, Sept. 23.
Snohomish County Sports Commission announced Price is one of seven individuals in the 2026 class, joined by a dominant Archbishop Murphy High School boys soccer dynasty that won three consecutive WIAA 2A state championships from 2015 to 2017.
The son of Walt Price, the longtime head football coach at Everett Junior College, Mike Price grew up in Everett and played alongside future national championship coach Dennis Erickson at Everett High.
He went on to lead Washington State for 14 seasons, compiling an 83–78 record with three 10-win campaigns, two Rose Bowl appearances, and a 1997 National Coach of the Year award.
His roots run deep.
The full individual inductee list: Megan Amundson (volleyball), Mitch Canham (baseball), Erik Norgard (football), Mary Parker Etter (track and field), Sidney Rielly (basketball), Price (football coaching), and Bob Cummins (rowing, Frank Foster Sports Contributor award).

The Archbishop Murphy soccer teams went a combined 63–2–1 across those three title seasons, including a perfect 22–0 finish in 2017 capped by an 8–0 state final rout of East Valley.
