Live in Everett - Best of 2016
2016 was a good year in Everett. Here are some of our favorites from the year.
Sketchy Everett Galore
Elizabeth Person created loads of delightful sketches this year. This one of Grand Ave Park is just classic. Oh, and of course People's Shoe Repair was a heart real warmer.
Hewitt Burger Run, 2016
We ate way too many burgers and drank too much beer for a work night, but were happy to eventually crown Everett's best burger winner.
We discovered many other awesome spots in Everett thanks to all of your votes through our monthly EVVY Awards. You can view all the EVVY Award winners here. Or vote for the current EVVYs here.
TELLERS, Walking Blind
Local band, TELLERS hooked up a free first listen of their EP titled "Walking Blind." You can still listen to the whole thing for free! (Shameless plug alert, Tyler plays in TELLERS...)
Riverfront Redevelopment
Not only did we hear it was going to happen, it actually started happening! Slowly but surely, this city is a changin'.
5 Things to Consider About Everett Schools
We got schooled on Everett schools... a continually interesting and complex conversation.
Hashtag LEGENDARY
Of the 15,000+ photos hashtagged 'EverettWA' on Instagram, we uncovered the first 9 to ever bare the 'EverettWA' hashtag. It's history, baby.
Everett Sounds, Volume 1
We made an album. Well, kind of. We compiled an album with 12 Everett bands. Check out (and buy, if you want) Everett Sounds, Volume 1. You can get more of the back story here.
Better words
Richard Porter started writing for Live In Everett this year. His writing is next level, and he has been killing it. We've been stoked on his weekly pieces. Here are a few of our favorites:
We Built this City, Volume 1, Residential Everett
Thai One On: The Secret Charm of Bhu Ping
