Editor’s note: Originally published March 20, 2018. Republished August 27, 2020.
Expedia recently named Everett, WA the best small city to staycation in the Pacific Northwest.
That’s right! Cue the fireworks, parade, and airbrushed t-shirts! We did it! I mean, I already knew that this place was a perma-vacation, but now Expedia has validated me in a way that only a corporate travel giant could. In celebration, I decided to send Expedia some reviews of my life in Everett.
“Based on the mortgage, it only cost $61 per night and unless the place is haunted, we had no one in the room next to us! Affordable and quiet!”
“The only bugs in the bed were the dogs. Cute!” -britneyb of Everett, WA
“I felt like water meat in a mountain sandwich. Views for days.” -barbb of Everett, WA
“The kitchen was open 24/7 and thank God, because legal weed, am I right?”
“Really walkable to bars, culture, and the marina. Didn’t walk...but could have!” -barbiebarb of Everett, WA
“Luv me some City Clerks Office on a Wednesday! No line! Quick service with a smile! Woot woot!” -berbarbri of Everett, WA
“Thought I was dead inside but the sunsets at Grand Ave Park made me feel feelings! Yay!”
“Size does matter! Largest public marina on the entire west coast! Grrrrr!” -bribar of Everett, WA
“It’s 2am. Bedroom window open. Can hear harbor seals barking in the distance and smell the salty water of Puget Sound. Not unpleasant.” -brebri of Everett, WA
“Traffic out of Everett forced me to staycation in Everett! Worth it!”
