Everett Real Estate

Everett, Washington, is the county seat and largest city in Snohomish County. It is 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 city in the state and fourth-largest in the Puget Sound area. Because of growth and annexations, the population as of 2007 was estimated to be 101,800 by the Washington State Office of Financial Management. It received the All-America City Award in 2002. Although Everett's early economy was tied to the lumber trade, the city's 2007 Labor workforce was more than 80,000, predominately employed in technology, aerospace, and service-based industries.

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, 777, and the new 787 in the largest building in the world by volume at 116.5 million cubic feet.

Situated at the mouth of the Snohomish River on Possession Sound, the Everett waterfront is home to Naval Station Everett, a sprawling Kimberly-Clark paper mill and the Port of Everett, which oversees both a deep-water commercial seaport and a marina with over 2000 slips.  It claims to be the largest on the west coast of the United States. Ambitious redevelopment began in 2006 to convert the north end of the waterfront into a community of maritime business, retail shops and condominiums.
