The Port of Everett has just launched a new website for people planning on visiting this summer. Geared toward recreational boaters and visitors, the site lists moorage information, services, hours and links to area attractions and dining. You can also find links to the Port of Everett’s commercial operations and working waterfront tours. You can click here or on the Port’s photo to see the new website.

In an effort to attract visiting boaters, the Port of Everett Marina has launched a new Port Pass discount program aimed at attracting thousands of boaters and yacht clubs throughout the Puget Sound Region.
The booklet offers discounts at dozens of area restaurants, attractions, and shopping outlets. Among them are Future of Flight and Boeing Tour Center, the Imagine Children’s Museum, Scuttlebutt Brewery, Anthony’s, Tulalip Resort Casino and Seattle Premium Outlet Mall, as well as on-site restaurants and marine supply stores. The Port Pass package includes recreational maps, interactive on-line maps, and other resources to make your stay at the Port of Everett more enjoyable.
“We have a great marina here in Everett, and this program is designed to encourage boaters to stop by and see what we have to offer,” Marina Director Jeff Bearman said. “We are hopeful that this discount program will help us to reach visiting boaters and traveling yacht clubs as they make their decisions about where to spend their summer boating.”
The Port of Everett Marina, located on Port Gardner Bay, is the largest public marina on the West Coast, and offers full-service marina amenities. Some of the features include Jetty Island (a 2-mile man-made sandy beach accessible by boat), a free shuttle to the Tulalip Resort Casino for 4 or more people, on-site kayak rentals, summer concerts and farmer’s market, free wi-fi, and more!
