2025 Historic Everett Calendar

Historic Everett proudly presents our 2025 calendar featuring the memorable days of ‘Cruising Colby Avenue’. For decades residents and visitors from all over Snohomish County have participated in the ritual of the ‘cruise’ or as it was also coined, “tooling”. There have been various iterations of the ‘cruise’, but each year on the same streets in Downtown Everett the roar of engines and the heavy smell of burning fuel draws people, and memories are made on Colby Avenue.

Visit Neal’s Barber Shop or Burkett’s Gifts on Colby Ave for your copy, or order below to have a calendar mailed to you.

Clark Park Gazebo

Clark Park Gazebo slated to be removed

Clark Park, Everett’s oldest Park, with its 103-year-old Gazebo designed by noted architect Benjamin Turnbull, has been on the Everett Register of Historic Places since1993. The City of Everett wants to remove the Gazebo and install a dog park, due to safety concerns and agrees demolition of the Gazebo is not going to solve the issues in Clark Park.

The Show Must Go On!

Historic Everett presents… “The Show Must Go On!” coloring book, reminiscence of theatrical arts in Everett. Illustrated by local artist Elizabeth Person, it’s produced in conjunction with the City of Everett’s Cultural Arts Grant program.

We look back at movie theater marquees that dotted the streets of downtown, The Historic Everett Theatre, Poetry, the spoken art performed at local coffee shops and the Everett Public Library, Betty Spooner’s famous ‘School of the Dance’, the iconic bronze statue of Mike Jordan that greets guests in front of Everett Performing Arts, and more.

Look for this delightful coloring book available in local stores or here on website.
