Everett, Washington
Area
Everett, Washington is located
on Puget Sound 28 miles north of Seattle. Everett is
located on a hill on a peninsula formed by the Snohomish
River and Puget
Sound. Its terrain gives
many of Everett’s neighborhoods views of Puget Sound
and Port Gardener. Everett’s
historic downtown lies at the base of this peninsula at the west end of a 2.3
mile viaduct of US Highway-2 across the Snohomish River
Valley. Interstate-5 cuts right through Everett on its way from the Canadian Border to Seattle and points
south

Everett, WA began as a deep water port and lumber mill town. In 1900 there were over 50 lumber mills in Everett. Today there are still wood products mills
located on the waterfront in Everett. Most of Everett’s waterfront is taken up with
industry, a naval base, boat moorage, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad
tracks. Everett
is the west coast terminal of BNSF’s northern trans-continental rail route so
the railroad is a major factor along the south bank of the Snohomish River
and along Puget Sound.
Today aviation plays a huge role
in Everett’s
economy. The Boeing Company assembles
its 747, 767, 777, and 787 here in the largest building in the world.
