EVERETT, FEB. 11: To inform visitors of their waterfront parking options, the Port of Everett released an “Insider’s Guide” for 2026 and announced expanded services for their waterfront shuttle coming this spring.
The waterfront currently includes approximately 1,800 visitor parking spaces across both permanent and temporary visitor lots. According to the Port, more than 1.6 million visits are made to the waterfront each year.
As development continues, parking will shift as new surface lots and parking structures are incorporated in future development phases, the Port said in a press release.
The visitor parking mix at the Port offers two hours of free parking in visitor lots, with pay-to-park thereafter. All visitor lots have posted time limits. Event and high-demand day rates supersede general rates, according to the Port.
If parking for more than two hours, rates can go up to $3, $6 and even $12, depending on how long you plan to park your vehicle. For special events, rates can range from $5 to $25, depending on the event.
This spring, the Port is expanding its waterfront shuttle service to accommodate year-round service with all-weather comfort and added capacity. The new shuttle program, called the “Trawley,” will fill the fall and winter gap to support growth and enhance access, the Port said.
To improve the parking experience, especially during peak times, the Port implemented a free seasonal waterfront shuttle service in 2024. There are nine shuttle pick-up areas across the 100-acre waterfront.
