Top Reasons Why People Love Living in Everett, WA

Discover What Makes Everett a Great Place to Live 

On the fence about where to buy a home in the Pacific Northwest? Make the decision an easy one by choosing Everett. Here are a few reasons why people love being homeowners in the largest city of Snohomish County. 

Get Access to Seattle While Avoiding High Living Costs  

Everett residents can enjoy the combination of Pacific Northwest natural beauty alongside the conveniences of urban living. Just 25 miles north of Seattle, residents are near the big city without the big city price tag. Owning is easy in Everett, with home prices running 30–40% below King County averages.  With lower home prices, no state income tax and lower property taxes than Seattle, your dollar goes further in Everett. 

Enjoy Natural Views and the Outdoors 

Living in Everett gives residents scenic views, mountains, access to over 40 parks and tons of options for outdoor recreation. Explore the Everett waterfront, spend a day at Jetty Island, enjoy boating and fishing from the Port of Everett Marina, or take advantage of nearby fishing charters. The city also serves as a gateway to countless hiking trails, biking routes, and parks. 

Langus Riverfront Park features a popular three-mile paved trail that runs flat along the banks of the Snohomish River. It’s a great place for walking, jogging and biking. The park's 96 acres also serve as a prime vantage point for spotting waterfowl, raptors, and shorebirds, with more than 350 species of migratory birds passing through each year. Golf courses and nearby gardens further add to the area's appeal, making Everett a year-round destination for outdoor adventure and exploration. 

An Actively Growing Area  

A growing city with a bustling downtown, a Puget Sound Transit light rail extension is planned for the future which would make commutes and access to adventure easier than ever. Everett offers a welcoming community where many residents choose to put down roots for the long term. For first-time buyers, growing households and professionals seeking more space and value while staying connected to the greater Seattle area, Everett remains an appealing option in the Puget Sound region. 

A Strong Job Market Right in Your Backyard

In Everett, you’ll find a strong, stable job market anchored by Boeing, the naval station and a growing aerospace supply chain. Everett is proud to be home to Boeing's massive manufacturing complex, a magnet that draws numerous aerospace and technology companies to the area. Add Naval Station Everett, a growing healthcare sector, and thousands of small businesses, and you have a community where economic stability is built in and not dependent on any single industry trend.
