Everett ranked as 388th Best Sports City in North America
The Sporting News recently announced its rankings of the Best Sports Cities in North America, with Everett coming in at No. 388.
Snohomish County’s largest city — home to the Everett Silvertips hockey team and Everett AquaSox minor-league baseball team — finished just ahead of Great Falls, Mont., and just behind Danville, Va.
The magazine ranked Boston No. 1 for the third time in five years, followed by Detroit, Dallas, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington.
Seattle was ranked 32nd. Other Washington cities on the list included Pullman (80), Spokane (92), Cheney (230), Tacoma (289), the Tri-Cities (375), Vancouver (394) and Yakima (399).
The Sporting News, which has been publishing the list annually since 1993, bases its rankings on "a variety of factors, including each city’s number of teams and their regular-season records, playoff berths, bowl appearances and tournament bids; championships; power ratings; competition; fan fervor; attendance; stadium/arena quality; ticket prices/availability; franchise ownership; and marquee appeal of athletes."
