Everett is surrounded by the Cascade Mountains to the east and Puget Sound to the west, giving this town the distinction of being able to offer a number of outdoor activities. Originally established as a lumber and mill town, Everett today enjoys a variety of family-oriented attractions alongside a deep water port that is integral to the town's economic development. The mild climate is a boon to those seeking to take advantage of the outdoor activities that are available in this area. The Boeing Aircraft Tour Center attracts aviation enthusiasts, as it features large aircraft in various stages of development all showcased in the biggest building in the world by volume. Everett also boasts two fresh markets, the Downtown Everett Market and the Everett Farmers' Market, each a showcase of local produce and crafts. For those wishing to explore the local wildlife, the Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary can be found just south of Everett.
