The Port of Everett, located on Port Gardner Bay at the mouth of the Snohomish River, was formed by the citizens of Everett in 1918 to create economic opportunities and protect the waterfront for the community. The Port has a long history of providing marine-related services and appropriate public access to the waterfront. The Port strives to bring quality jobs, business, and tourism opportunities to its local and surrounding communities, and is committed to enhancing, restoring and preserving the overall environmental health of our waterfront through environmental remediation, pollution prevention and resiliency planning.

The Port of Everett operates three lines of business:
1) international shipping terminals;
2) marina facilities; and
3) real estate development. The Port operates eight shipping berths situated on approximately 125 acres of land, and specializes in handling high-value, conventional and over dimensional cargoes in support of the aerospace, military, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, energy and forest products industries.

The Port of Everett runs the largest public marina on the West Coast with more than 2,300 recreational boating slips and a 13-lane public boat launch facility. On the real estate side, the Port owns 3,800 acres of property, including Jetty Island, and works to return environmentally damaged property to productive use, restoring economic prosperity to the waterfront. The Port’s properties also provide numerous public access and recreational opportunities for area residents and visitors to enjoy, supporting a vibrant, livable and balanced waterfront that generates economic and recreational opportunities.

Through its operations, the Port supports nearly 40,000 jobs and contributes $433 million to state and local taxes.
