EVERETT

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 9 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
EVERETT , a city, a sub-port of entry, and the county-seat of Snohomish county, Washington, U.S.A., on Puget Sound, at the mouth of the Snohomish river, about 35 M. N. of
Seattle
 . pop. (1900) 7838; (1910 U. S. census) 24,814. The city is served by the Northern Pacific and the
Great
  Northern railways, being the western terminus of the latter's main transcontinental line, by interurban electric railway, and by several lines of Sound and
coasting
  freight and passenger steamboats. Everett has a fine harbour with several large iron piers. Among its principal buildings are a
Carnegie
  library, a Y.M.C.A. building and two hospitals. The buildings of the Pacific College were erected here by the United
Norwegian
  Lutheran Church in 1908. The city is in a rich lumbering, gardening, farming, and copper-, gold- and silver-mining
district
 . There is a U.S. assayer's office here, and there are extensive shipyards, a large
paper
  mill, iron works, and, just outside the city limits, the smelters of the American Smelters Securities Company, in connexion with which is one of the two plants in the United States for saving arsenic from smelter fumes. Lumber interests, however, are of most importance, and here are some of the largest lumber plants in the Pacific Northwest. Red-
cedar
  shingles are an important product. Everett was settled in 1891 and was incorporated in 1893. Its rapid growth is due to its favourable situation as acommercial port, its transportation facilities, and its nearness to extensive forests whence the material for its
chief
 
industries
  is obtained.
