The Port of Everett could be located along the city's waterfront, together with the Kimberly-Clark paper mill, the Everett Yacht Club and the Naval Station Everett.

The man-made Jetty Island is owned by the Port of Everett. It is a narrow, 3.2 km long island with strong winds and wide flat sandy beaches, making it a very famous place for skimboarding and kite-surfing. Jetty Island was built during the early 1900's by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, although it was initially a failed effort to create a freshwater harbor. The island presently serves as a park, accessible by ferry. Starting from June through the holiday weekend of Labour Day, the city provides free ferry service from the 10th Street Boat launch to Jetty Island.
