Everett is an important part of the evolving Central Puget Sound metropolitan area and an important urban concentration on its own.  Everett has several advantages for businesses such as an excellent transportation system, an international seaport, tremendous quality of life resources and an attractive business climate.

We have a large inventory of industrial land area to provide space for new industry as well as a large supply of underdeveloped land zoned for higher density commercial, residential or mixed use which provides opportunity for businesses to establish, relocate and grow.  

Everett is committed to helping companies take root and thrive in our urban center. Our Economic Development Department is a valuable resource to your enterprise.

The Economic Development Department can assist in:

  • Location and relocation assistance
  • Real estate market evaluation
  • Critical infrastructure consultation
  • Facilitation of project permitting
