Everett is the county seat and largest city in Snohomish County, Washington located 25 miles north of Seattle. As of the 2000 census the city had a total population of 91,488, making it the 6th largest in the state and fourth-largest in the Puget Sound area. Because of growth and annexations, the population as of April 1, 2006 was estimated to be 101,100 by the Washington State Office of Financial Management.

Everett is home to the second-largest marina on the west coast of the United States and is the western terminus of the western segment of U.S. Highway 2. It is also home to Boeing's assembly plant for the 747, 767, 787, and 777 in the largest building in the world by volume at 116.5 million cubic feet.

In 1984, Everett was selected as the site of a U.S. Navy Homeport, Naval Station Everett. The port formally opened in 1992 and on January 8, 1997 welcomed the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

Everett is home to an amazing 40 parks! The biggest parks are Walter E. Hall Park, Forest Park, Langus Riverfront Park, Kasch Park, Howarth Park, and Thornton A. Sullivan Park. Walter E. Hall Park near the Boeing plant sports a golf course and a skate park, Forest Park a swimming pool, hockey, horseshoes, miles of trails and an animal farm, Langus Park a boat launch, Kasch Park four softball fields, Howarth Park a sandy beach on Puget Sound, and Thornton A. Sullivan Park hosts a sandy swimming beach on Silver Lake as well as public docks for fishing.

Along the waterfront lies Jetty Island featuring large sandy beaches and relatively warm water. Jetty Island is the result of a failed attempt in the early 1900s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create a freshwater harbor west of downtown Everett. In summers, the City of Everett Parks and Recreation Department provides free ferry service to the island from the 10th Street Boat Launch.

Everett also boasts some great sports teams in baseball with the Aquasox, in hockey with the fabulous Silvertips, football with the Hawks and the Basketball team the Explosion. Most events are seen at the newest venue, the Everett Events Center.
