THINGS TO DO IN EVERETT, WASHINGTON

THE LIVE IN EVERETT FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL
SATURDAY AT COLBY AND EVERETT

Who's ready for a day of glorious gluttony? Our annual Food Truck Festival is going down this Saturday, and it's bigger and better than ever with 24 of Washington's best food trucks, the Everett Makers Market, a beer garden from Wicked Cellars and free family-fun from Imagine Children's Museum. We've extended hours this year, too (9am - 5 pm), so you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner (with snacks in between). Admission is free. More info here.

EAT + DRINK

Mazatlan just celebrated four years in Everett. We stopped in on Saturday to hang with them and enjoyed fishbowl margaritas, a Mexican feast, & music from Mariachi Grullenese. We can't say enough good things about these folks. Delicious food, great prices, and hospitality that is hard to top. Congrats on four years!  

Despite being hotter than a snakes butt in a wagon rut, the Everett Craft Beer fest was epic. Get this, Everett breweries made up almost 20% of the festival. We're stoked to see such a robust (and growing) craft beer scene here in our hometown. Who is your favorite Everett brewery? Cast your vote here to vote in the monthly Evvy Awards.
