Everett is a waterfront city of about 110,000 people on Port Gardner Bay, about 25 miles north of Seattle, with views of the Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound and the Cascades to the east. Founded in 1893 as a lumber and mill town, it is best known today as the home of Boeing's giant widebody jet factory, one of the largest buildings in the world by volume.
Visitors can tour the Boeing factory through the Future of Flight center in nearby Mukilteo, and the city's naval station and marina keep a strong maritime feel. Downtown Everett has the historic Everett Theatre, restaurants and an arena, and Grand Avenue Park blooms with cherry trees on a bluff overlooking the water.
Jetty Island, a short free ferry ride from the marina in summer, has sandy beaches and warm shallow water. Legion Park and the Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens offer flower beds and views, 10th Street Marine Park is a launch point for boats, and the Snohomish River curves around the city's eastern edge on its way to the sound.
A historic theater on Colby Avenue in downtown Everett that first opened in 1901 and was rebuilt after a fire, now hosting concerts, community theater, comedy, films and touring shows. Its restored auditorium is full of old-time charm. Check the calendar and grab dinner on Hewitt Avenue first.
A community art center in downtown Everett with free rotating gallery exhibitions, working artist studios, a hot glass shop where visitors can watch glassblowing, classes and a shop selling local art. It is a good rainy day stop. Check the schedule for live glassblowing demos.
A large hands-on children's museum in downtown Everett with three floors of play exhibits, including a rooftop play area, a pretend town, water play and climbing structures, aimed at kids up to about age 12. It gets busy on rainy weekends, so book timed tickets online in advance.
The visitor center at Paine Field next to Boeing's huge Everett factory, with aviation exhibits, flight simulators, a rooftop deck overlooking the runway and the Boeing factory tour, which shows widebody jets being built inside one of the largest buildings in the world. Book tours ahead.
A two-mile-long manmade island at the mouth of the Snohomish River, reached in summer by a free or low-cost Port of Everett ferry. Its sandy beaches have warm shallow water, bird life and great views of the Olympics. Bring food and water, as there are no shops on the island.
Everett's marina district, one of the largest public marinas on the West Coast, with waterfront walkways, restaurants, a hotel, summer concerts and the Jetty Island ferry landing. It is a pleasant place to watch boats and sunsets over Port Gardner. Parking is easy along the waterfront.
A narrow bluff-top park in the historic north Everett neighborhood with benches and lawns overlooking Port Gardner, the waterfront and the Olympic Mountains. A pedestrian bridge connects it down to the waterfront. It is one of the best spots in Everett to watch the sunset.
A large park in north Everett with sports fields, a playground, walking paths, a golf course next door and the Evergreen Arboretum. It is a busy neighborhood park for sports and community events. Combine a stroll through the arboretum with a picnic on the lawns.
Everett's oldest and largest city park, with forested trails, a big playground, picnic shelters, a public swim center and seasonal animal farm activities for kids. Tall trees keep it shady on warm days. It is a good family stop, especially for little ones in summer.
A free public garden inside Legion Memorial Park with themed gardens including a Japanese garden, conifers, a xeriscape area, roses and perennials, cared for by volunteers. It is small enough to see in under an hour. Visit in spring or early summer when many plants are in bloom.
Everett's downtown arena, home to the Everett Silvertips junior hockey team, with concerts, family shows and community events during the year. Hockey games are affordable and lively. Check the event calendar and plan time for parking or use nearby downtown garages.
The ballpark at Everett Memorial Stadium, home to the Everett AquaSox, a minor league affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. Games are relaxed and family friendly, with cheap seats, fireworks nights and mascot fun. Summer evening games are the best way to enjoy it.
