Description
Everett is a county seat in Snohomish County, Washington, spreading between Port Gardner Bay and the Snohomish River. Several road bridges connect the eastern and western neighborhoods across the river, while parks and green spaces thread through residential areas.
History
The city emerged after the Great Northern Railway arrived in the late 19th century, developing from a timber industry center into a location for aerospace production. This industrial shift continues to shape the urban structure and job landscape.
Culture
The name comes from financier Charles L. Everett, a key figure in the city's founding whose memory remains present in local speech and place names. Local habits show through the direct way residents engage with maritime heritage and the aviation industry, both shaping everyday life.
