Everett Station is served by six daily Amtrak trains: four Cascades runs between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia,[3] and two Empire Builder runs between Seattle and Chicago.[4] The station is also served by the N Line of Sound Transit's Soundercommuter rail service, running four trains in peak direction towards King Street Station in Seattle during the morning commute and four trains from Seattle during the evening commute, only on weekdays and during special events.[5] Train service to Everett is most often disrupted and canceled during the autumn and winter seasons because of landslides along the shoreline of the Puget Sound, where the BNSF mainline tracks run.[6] During the 2012–2013 winter season, a record-high of 206 passenger trains between Everett and Seattle were canceled,[7][8] prompting the Washington State Department of Transportation to begin a three-year landslide mitigation project in 2013 that will stabilize slopes above the railroad between Seattle and Everett.[9][10]
The Everett Station complex is located on 10 acres (4.0 ha; 0.016 sq mi)[23] situated between Downtown Everett to the west and Interstate 5 to the east.[13] The train platforms are located on the east side of the station building and bus bays, along three BNSF-owned railway tracks. The covered west platform, used by the Sounder commuter rail service, is located directly east of the station building, while a partially sheltered platform, used by Amtrak, is situated on the second set of tracks and is accessible by several pedestrian at-grade crossings.[24] Directly south of the main building are the bus bays, which are centered around a covered walkway that connects the train platforms to the Swiftbus rapid transit station, served by the Blue Line.[13] 1,067 short-term parking spaces are located around the station complex, including the initial parking lot west of the tracks and an additional parking lot accessible by a pedestrian bridge over the tracks.[15] In addition to the short-term parking lots, there are 25 designated Amtrak/Greyhound parking stalls and eight rideshare vehicles stalls located at the front of the station building.[12]
Station building
The station building is a four-floor brick-and-glass structure housing 64,000 square feet (5,900 m2) that includes ticketing offices, a waiting area, classrooms, and community rooms. The front façade mainly comprises a three-story glass wall inside of a 34,000-pound (15,000 kg; 15 t) precast steel arch, facing a small plaza at the intersection of Smith Avenue and 32nd Street.[25] The lobby is decorated with an inlaid terrazzo floor with a design representing local waterways, accompanied by a three-story atrium consisting of a large glass wall and a large clock.[26] The station building, designed by architectural firm Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership,[27] houses ticket counters and waiting areas for Amtrak and Greyhound in addition to passenger amenities, such as restrooms, payphones, a customer service center, and ORCA card vending machines, open daily from 6am to 10pm.[28] The station has weatherproof bicycle lockers in addition to 6 short-term bicycle racks located at the front of the station.[1][12]
The first floor is occupied by the Bezos Academy, a private tuition-freepreschool funded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. It opened on March 2, 2023, with three classrooms, a kitchen, and an outdoor playground in a former parking lot.[33] A ten-year lease for the 3,800-square-foot (350 m2) space was approved by the Everett City Council in January 2022 for $1 per month.[34] A lease for 640 square feet (59 m2) on the ground floor for a model railroad club was approved in 2023; the Swamp Creek and Western Railroad Association plans to move their exhibit from Edmonds station to the new space in June 2023.[35]
A seasonal farmers' market at the station was established in 2019 and opened on Wednesdays with vendors along 32nd Street, which was closed to traffic.[36] It was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and returned in 2023 with an artificial turf surface laid over the street.[37]
Awards and recognition
The City of Everett and ZGF Partnership were recognized by the Puget Sound Regional Council with a "Vision 2020" award for its combination of a transportation hub and community gathering place into a single project.[38][39] Everett Station also won the 2006 Citation Award from the Washington branch of the American Institute of Architects, whose jury commended the City of Everett on the station housing "an innovative mix of transit, educational functions, and community spaces; delights travelers; and is welcoming to the public for classes, public meetings, and banquets."[1][40]

History
Prior to the opening of Everett Station in 2002, Amtrak served the city of Everett at a small station located at 2900 Bond Street, overlooking the Port of Everett west of downtown. It saw free commuter rail service from January to March 1995 as part of the "Try Rail" demonstration, consisting of two daily roundtrips from Seattle and special service to Seattle SuperSonics games at the Tacoma Dome.[41][42] The Bond Street Station, originally built by the Great Northern Railway in 1910,[43] was originally planned to be kept as a secondary commuter rail station without parking or major bus connections until it was removed from Sound Transit's plans in 2001.[44][45][46] The station was closed in November 2002 and has since become the offices of the BNSF Railway Northwest Division.[24]
The City of Everett selected a straightaway track segment east of downtown as the preferred location of a multimodal train/bus station, to replace the existing Amtrak station at Bond Street, in 1993.[30] The Everett City Council chose a two-block industrial site bordered by Pacific Avenue to the north in 1995, estimating a cost of $30 million and an opening in 1998.[47] Everett Mayor Ed Hansen proposed adding two additional stories to the station building to house classrooms and space for career counseling services, inspired by a similar project in Oakland, California.[48][49] The Sound Transit Board passed a resolution in February 1999 allowing the use of $14 million to begin work on the Everett Multimodal Facility, which was to be the terminus for Sounder commuter rail and Sound Transit Express bus service.[44][50] A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 13, 2000, allowing for construction on Everett Station to begin.[51] Sound Transit began with the construction of the Pacific Avenue overpass, replacing an earlier at-grade crossing, that opened on November 14, 2001 at a cost of $20 million.[52] The station building was designed by the Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership and built by Wilder Construction Company in 2000 and 2001.[53]
The $46.9 million station was opened during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 4, 2002, attended by Everett Mayor Ed Hansen, GovernorGary Locke, U.S. RepresentativeRick Larsen, Snohomish County ExecutiveBob Drewel and Sound Transit Board chairman and King County ExecutiveRon Sims.[1][26][30][54] Initially, only Everett Transit and Community Transit operated out of the station on opening day,[1] but they were quickly joined by Sound Transit Express service the following day and Greyhound intercity bus service that summer.[1][55] Amtrak was initially expected to begin serving Everett Station in July 2002, but the construction of a passing track delayed the move of the Cascades and Empire Builder from Bond Street Station to November 12.[56] Construction of a Sounder commuter rail platform and rail spur was approved by the Everett City Council in September 2002, pending reimbursement from Sound Transit and Amtrak for its cost of $726,000.[57] Sounder service to King Street Station in Seattle via Edmonds began with special Seattle Seahawks gameday service on December 22, 2003, carrying 700 passengers on the inaugural run of the Sounder North Line (now the N Line).[58][59]
Sound Transit expanded parking capacity at Everett Station to 1,067 spaces with the addition of 440 stalls, located east of the station and connected via a pedestrian overpass, that opened in May 2009 at a cost of $13.6 million.[60] The southern lot of the station was cleared to build the terminus of Community Transit's Swift Bus Rapid Transit Blue Line, which began service on November 29, 2009, connecting Everett to Shoreline via the State Route 99 corridor.[61][62]
Everett Station was proposed as the site of a University of Washington branch campus, with state consultants choosing 32 acres (0.13 km2) around the station to house 5,000 students from Snohomish, Island County and Skagit County.[63][64][65] The project, dubbed UW North Sound, was put on hold in December 2008 and has since been canceled.[66][67]
Future plans
Link light rail service is expected to be extended from Lynnwood Transit Center to Everett in 2037 or 2041 depending on the availability of funding. The project was approved in the Sound Transit 3 package passed by voters in 2016.[68] The terminus serving downtown Everett is planned to either be located adjacent to Everett Station, as presumed in earlier studies,[69][70] or closer to Broadway between Pacific Avenue and Wall Street to serve other destinations.[68][71] In 2012, the City of Everett began to rezone the station's surrounding area to allow multifamily housing, encouraging transit-oriented development by raising height limits to 80 feet (24 m).[23] Another proposal would have a 500-stall parking garage built to replace the southernmost lot at a cost of $15–18 million,[23] allowing Everett Transit to transform the existing western lot into mixed-use development.[72]
Everett Station is also among several options for a future high-speed rail station serving Snohomish County on the Pacific Northwest Corridor, generally following the existing Cascades corridor. The project, led by the Washington State Department of Transportation, was approved for planning in 2022 but is not expected to begin construction for at least a decade.[73]
