    Overview

    The Port of Everett is a significant public seaport located on Port Gardner Bay at the mouth of the Snohomish River in Everett, Washington. Established in 1918, it stands as the third-largest container port in Washington State and plays a critical role in supporting international trade, regional industry, and the U.S. Navy. The port covers approximately 3,000 acres and is recognized for its multi-use development, which includes a major cargo terminal, the West Coast’s largest public marina with over 2,300 slips, and substantial property dedicated to public access and recreation. Besides serving commercial shipping lines, the Port of Everett supports a robust aerospace industry supply chain, particularly Boeing, making it strategically vital for both economic growth and national defense support. The port is also home to a newly opened Maritime Institute training facility, which enhances workforce development for the maritime sector. By integrating cargo, recreational, and environmental initiatives, the Port of Everett is a linchpin in local maritime infrastructure and innovation.
