EVERETT, Wash., city, county-seat of Snohomish County, on Puget Sound, on the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul railroads, about 55 miles east by north of Tacoma and 30 miles north of Seattle. It has an excellent harbor with water communication with Pacific and agricultural lands, forests and val uable mines nearby. Such a combination of natural resources is not common. Everett is the entrepot of the towns and camps in a rich mining belt. 'Within a district 36 miles long and 20 miles wide, the Monte Cristo, Great Lake, Silver Creek, Troublesome, Sultan, Stilla guamish and North Fork district send ores to the great smelter in Everett and in various ways contribute naturally to the substantial growth of the city. The city trades extensively in lumber, having some of the largest plants in the Northwest. Red-cedar shingles are the most important products. The smelter and refinery plant obtains mineral from all over the Northwest. The city contains railroad shops, flour- and lumber-mills, large shipyards, sash and door factories, saw and shingle mills and one of the two plants in the United States for saving arsenic from smelter fumes. There are several well-built brick buildings, churches, a theatre, graded streets, electric light and motor power, sewers, school houses, newspapers, a Carnegie library, two hospitals and the United States customs and assayer's offices, etc. Its school system is excellent. Everett was settled in 1891, incorporated in 1893. Its growth has been rapid because of its favorable situation as a commercial port, its transportation facilities and its nearness to extensive forests. It has adopted the commission form of government. Pop. 32,048.
