109 nursing jobs in Everett, WA

West of I-5, nurses and young professionals cluster in Bayside (Walk Score 82, bluff views of Port Gardner Bay, walkable to the marina and downtown, median home about $447k as of Oct 2025, typical 1-BR rent about $1,655), plus Port Gardner, Northwest Everett, and Harborview–Seahurst–Glenhaven for historic Craftsman bungalows and waterfront character. East of the freeway, especially ZIP 98208, Silver Lake—including Pioneer Trails with large lots and big backyards—and Silver Firs offer newer cul-de-sacs that bleed into Mill Creek; decent Silver Lake homes start around $800k.

Boulevard Bluffs, View Ridge–Madison, and South Forest Park are also repeatedly named. I-5 is the lifestyle split: west is older, tighter, and walkable; east is suburban and family-oriented.

Citywide, the Zillow Home Value Index was $619,916 in June 2026; a local realtor video cited a roughly $701,000 median. Bayside’s median was about $447k in Oct 2025 with 1-BR rents around $1,655, while decent Silver Lake homes start near $800,000. West-side inventory is older Craftsman bungalows and mixed historic/newer stock on tighter lots; east-side 98208 is newer subdivisions.

Average lot size is about 6,000 sq ft. One 2026 guide estimates about $75,120 minimum income to rent comfortably and $161,331 to buy.

Luxury apartments are part of the Port’s waterfront redevelopment, and equivalent square footage still costs less than Bellevue, Kirkland, or even Lynnwood.

Everett sits 25–30 miles north of Seattle on I-5; drives to downtown Seattle run about 40 minutes, or 20–30 minutes without traffic and longer when it stacks. Bayside has easy access to I-5 and US-2 and sits close to Everett Station and the downtown core, though parking is limited in that core.

Seattle neighborhoods cited for people working in Everett include Roosevelt, Northgate, Greenwood, Ballard, and Fremont at about 20–40 minutes. A regional medical center draws healthcare workers citywide, so living in-city generally means a short local trip rather than a southbound I-5 slog; anyone working south of Northgate faces a longer, more complicated commute.

The waterfront is the dining hub: Scuttlebutt Brewery/Taproom and its restaurant, The Muse (coffee by day, evening hours after 4:00), and a growing Waterfront Place restaurant-and-retail cluster tied to a $635 million Port of Everett redevelopment that also adds a hotel and luxury apartments. Locals also name Katana Sushi, Kai Sushi, Frying Lemon Fish, Capers and Olives, Tacos n Beer, At Large, and Sound 2 Summit.

Bayside is the walkable-to-dinner neighborhood for marina and arts-venue nights.

Jetty Island is the standout summer outing—residents treat it as a genuine seasonal asset other Puget Sound cities would drive an hour to reach. Port Gardner Bay and what sources call the West Coast’s largest public marina (also described as the second-largest marina on the West Coast) define daily waterfront life.

Named parks include Grand Avenue Park, Howarth Park, and Forest Park; the Interurban Trail threads multiple neighborhoods for car-free recreation. Waterfront walks and Puget Sound views are the default weekend plan.

Named indoor draws include the Schack Art Center, Imagine Children’s Museum, Historic Everett Theatre, Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum, and Boeing’s Future of Flight. Angel of the Winds Arena is where locals watch games.

Waterfront Place hosts 90-plus annual events, and the craft-beverage circuit (Scuttlebutt, At Large, Sound 2 Summit) doubles as nightlife. An Everett Farmers Market is among the regular local gatherings.

A 2026 living guide lists an average summer high of 75°F and about 160 sunny days per year. Jetty Island and waterfront programming are treated as summer-season assets, so that mild, clearer window is when outdoor life actually peaks.

These sources do not spell out winter rainfall totals beyond that sunny-day figure, so newcomers should plan on a long stretch of non-sunny Puget Sound weather outside summer.

Everett Public Schools cover the whole city, and school-boundary choice matters more than many buyers expect. Silver Lake feeds Everett district schools rated about 4–6 out of 10 on GreatSchools—described as mediocre, not horrible.

East-side 98208 schools are the ones that pull families from Mill Creek and Bothell. Pioneer Trails and other Silver Lake/Silver Firs pockets offer large lots and backyards; North Everett is praised for livability.

Imagine Children’s Museum is the named kid destination. Military families on two- to three-year Naval Station tours often rent first.

Crime, drugs, and homelessness are openly discussed as urban downsides versus nearby Mukilteo or Lake Stevens.

North Everett residents call living there wonderful and a mix of city and small-town feel, and describe that side of town as marvelous. Repeated pros are the waterfront, amenities, and outdoor access; repeated cons are grit, sketchy pockets, traffic, and a downtown still mid-recovery after years of underinvestment—though the Port’s Waterfront Place development is the cited turnaround.

Locals also flag limited yard space (average lot about 6,000 sq ft), visible poverty and homelessness because Everett is the county seat with the jail and social services, and urban crime including drug use and break-ins. People who want quieter suburbia often look next door to Mukilteo or Lake Stevens.
