Tips and tricks
We can’t really help traffic on Thanksgiving weekend (sorry everyone), but we can help you with some tips and tricks to make shopping in downtown a breeze.
Parking is free in downtown Everett and may be at a premium, but never fear! The Everpark garage (2825 Hoyt Ave) is open and free on weekends.
There is a Silvertips game on Saturday at 7:05 p.m., so that parking crunch will get even crunchier. You may want to wrap your shopping up before the hockey crowd shows up.
Bundle up! It’s going to be 43 degrees and sunny Saturday morning, so dress accordingly. We suggest long johns and maybe a Live in Everett knit hat.
Have fun out there and happy shopping! We’ll see you downtown.
