Just 25 miles north of Seattle and nestled between the sparkling Puget Sound and gorgeous Cascade Mountains, Everett, Washington offers adventure in every direction. With beautiful hotels, easy access to the waterfront, unique restaurants, craft breweries and easy connections to both I-5 and Hwy-2, Everett is the perfect launchpad for outdoor lovers, foodies and adventure seekers looking for the off-beat and extraordinary.

Start your journey at Everett’s waterfront where you can catch a quick 10-minute ferry over to the beautiful Jetty Island. This 2-mile stretch of warm, sandy beach is probably one of Washington’s best beaches - the shallow water is usually warm, making for excellent wading, swimming and all kinds of beachy fun with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy.

When you’ve had your fill of all the island fun, head on back to the mainland for some brews and bites. If you stick around at the waterfront, you’ll find unique restaurants with great food, incredible craft beverages and breathtaking waterfront views to catch the sunset over the Puget Sound.

Or head on over to Everett's historical and walkable downtown for a fascinating trip to Funko, maker of the famous Funko Pop! figurines. Their Everett HQ store is equal parts Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory/Disneyland-without-the-rides. There are giant replicas of Funko Pops everywhere with larger-than-life Hagrid from Harry Potter, Frozen’s Elsa and Luke Skywalker, making for a great photo op for kiddos and kiddos at heart. After your tour you can walk within a two-block radius to great coffee, locally-owned shops, and delicious bites and brews. Craft beer lovers will love the selection of local bars and breweries where you can have a drink and unwind.

While you’re exploring downtown, take a walk and discover Everett’s street art scene where local and internationally-renowned artists have brought their inspiration to the streets with new murals and exhibits of colorful, energetic street art. The world is a canvas for those who would boldly make their mark, and in downtown Everett, the fantastic results of street artists’ creative spirit are on display.
