Hello from Timber & Tide
We've been hosting guests at Timber & Tide for a while now, and the same questions keep coming up: Where should we eat? What's worth doing in a day? Is the Boeing factory tour actually good?
The answers are always the same. Yes, the Boeing tour is genuinely one of the best free things you can do in Washington state. We figured it was time to write it all down somewhere useful.
What You'll Find Here
This blog is a collection of everything we've learned about Everett and the surrounding Pacific Northwest. Expect:
- Local guides: neighborhoods, waterfront spots, hidden gems
- Day trip itineraries: Seattle, the Olympics, Cascades, and more
- Seasonal picks: what's worth doing in summer vs. winter
- Honest recommendations: places we actually send our own guests
We're not a travel publication. We're hosts who live here and want your trip to be genuinely great.
