Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Everett locals are food lovers at heart, and the city provides plenty of delicious restaurants, from fine dining to casual comfort food. Anthony’s HomePort is a down-to-earth PNW favorite located right on the shores of the Sound. It’s perfect for watching the boats come in and out of the marina while enjoying fresh, high-quality seafood. Lombardi’s is a neighborhood staple for classic Italian fare. Known for its incredible pasta dishes and windows facing the water, this restaurant is one that can’t be missed. 

Most people consider breweries to serve casual bar food alongside their brews. While family-owned Scuttlebutt Brewing Restaurant and Pub does serve classics like burgers and fries, you can also pair your pint with upscale dishes like prime rib or cedar plank salmon.

It’s perfect for kids and adults who want to learn more about the industry in which Everett was built.
 
Angel of the Winds Arena hosts sports games and musical events throughout the year, but you can also use the massive ice rink for public skating, birthday parties, or ice hockey games. The arena also doubles as an events space and conference center. Everett Naval Station also provides classes, activities, trips, tours, and outdoor recreation rentals for community members. 
 
While Everett is urban at its core, it is also known for beautiful parks that make exploring the wonders of nature easy and accessible. Legion Memorial Park is perched on a scenic bluff and features playgrounds and picnic tables.
