What is Everett like? (Seattle: real estate, apartment, neighborhoods)

[adiscerningmind]

My partner and I are thinking about getting an apartment in historic downtown Everett. Can anyone tell us what it is like?

Thank you for the reply. I did check out that information and it seems like there are mixed reviews about the area.

I am looking at an apartment now that is in the "historic downtown" area according to the ad. Now we are in California so I have not been to Everett but to Seattle one time. If there is anything else that you or anyone else can provide that would be wonderful.

What street is it on? Historical downtown could mean a variety of neighborhoods. Broadway, Colby, Everett Ave....

It is located at 2101 Rucker Ave. I am not really sure where this is at.

That is very close to the naval base. I used to work down on the everett waterfront, it's very industrial and pretty ugly. But if I remember correctly, there are some pretty charming neighborhoods north of the naval base on Grand and Rucker, so that address might be good. Put that address in here and click on birds-eye view. It might give you a better idea of the neighborhood. Make sure you use the directional views. I use this all the time when searching for real estate.
