Residents can enjoy over 1,600 acres of parks and outdoor recreation facilities in the city limits, with many more opportunities available within a short drive. Water recreation is abundant as well, with the Port of Everett Marina holding the title of largest public marina on the West Coast.
Local dining options range from quaint coffee shops to culturally diverse restaurants. As the largest city in Snohomish County, Everett is at the forefront of economic development.
Arts and culture are also growing in the city through community staples such as the Village Theatre, Everett Performing Arts Center and the Schack Art Center. The award-winning Imagine Children’s Museum provides interactive exhibits and a rooftop playground.
