Boeing's Everett factory is the world's largest building by interior volume. It is where the Boeing 747, 767, and 777 airliners are made. On the observation deck of the museum, you can watch planes land and take off from the runway, with air traffic control audible on speakers; aircraft are often being tested before delivery to Boeing's customers.

Jetty Island Days
Another great, but ugly dive in Everett. Spicy chicken is known locally as "crack chicken" because once you try it you need it on a regular basis. The menu includes burgers, teriyaki, & yakisoba.
previously Taste of Thai
Everett is loaded with Thai restaurants, and Taste of Thai, the predecessor here, was one of the best. Phu Ping carries that on. Great food at reasonable prices. A local favorite for the lunch specials. The custard and sticky rice dessert is a treat found at few Thai restaurants. In the back is a wonderfully well-stocked wine tasting room and store.
Lanna Thai is upscale Thai food. The restaurant, including a full bar is beautifully appointed, and the service is uniformly good. The lunch specials are a good value, but the Pad Thai is cooked ahead and inconsistent. Good, but not great.
Perhaps the only real diner in Everett. The food is good and freshly prepared, with breakfast served all day. Nothing fantastic, but you won't go away hungry and the price is decent. Family owned since the 1950s with a big, cheesy fake totem pole out front.
In a town loaded with Chinese restaurants, Beijing Garden stands out as one of the best. Small and cute, with barely adequate parking. A standard Chinese restaurant menu, with very well executed dishes. The hot and sour soup is the best in the area. Lunch specials are a great value.
MLP
Baseball-themed, family-owned, large space with many large wall mounted TVs. Besides their fabulous hand tossed pizza with fresh made, family recipe, pizza. Plenty of room for a large party and it is the favorite pizza of the Everett Silvertips Ice Hockey Team. MLP pizza is also available at two locations in the Xfinity Arena a few blocks away. They use first class products in their foods such as Boar's Head meats. There are Grinders, Calzones, Breadsticks and more. Delivery is available as well.
A family-friendly brewpub. Happy Hour 2-6PM Monday through Thursday.
The flagship retail store for Funko Pops collectibles, attached to the company headquarters.
Hewitt Ave retains several blocks of historic buildings from the early 1900s, with a preponderance of antique dealers, collectibles shops, and consignment markets.
