About Everett

Transit options in Everett

Sound Transit, Everett Transit, and Community Transit offer public transit options in Everett. Community Transit provides its bus rapid transit system, Swift, with two lines that travel through the city: the Blue Line from Downtown Everett to Shoreline via State Route 99; and the Green Line, which connects the Boeing plant to Mill Creek and northern Bothell.

Everett Station is a multimodal train and bus station that is served by its three major public transit providers including the Sounder Commuter Train. Everett Station is also served by intercity buses from Greyhound Lines, BoltBus, and Northwestern Trailways, which connect Everett to cities in the Pacific Northwest.

Sound Transit plans to extend its Link light rail service to Downtown Everett in 2036, as part of the Sound Transit 3 plan passed by voters in 2016.

Everett has more than 40 parks, with Forest Park serving as the largest. Many of these parks offer hiking, biking, and walking trails. The city also provides a seasonal ferry giving access to Jetty Island from its waterfront. Everett was connected with Seattle by an interurban railway from 1910 to 1939, with the right-of-way now serving as the Interurban Trail for bikers and pedestrians.
