“Sorticulture is in its 28th year and it is the jewel of our event season in downtown Everett,” said Kari Quaas, project coordinator at the City of Everett.
“Our artists and educators hail from all over the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia). We cannot wait to see smiles on everyone’s faces as they take in the beauty of nature and art – rain or shine! There is something for people of all ages to enjoy.”
Everett Transit is offering a complimentary festival shuttle service each day of the event from Everett Station, making it easy for attendees to access the festival and downtown activities.
