Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Everett, Washington is Snohomish County’s largest city and a port community on Puget Sound, located approximately 25 miles north of Seattle. Snohomish County drew more than 7 million visitors in 2022 with $1.45 billion in visitor spending, ranking tourism as the county’s second-largest industry. Everett’s STR market draws from this regional visitor base, serving travelers tied to Boeing’s Everett manufacturing complex, waterfront and marina recreation, sports events at Angel of the Winds Arena, and Cascade Mountain gateway traffic.
As of April 2026, the Everett market averaged $159.05 per night in ADR at 62.6% occupancy, producing a RevPAR of $99.58. Monthly revenue per active listing averaged $2,690. Year-over-year, occupancy slipped 2.54 percentage points and revenue declined 3.38%, while ADR held nearly flat at +0.67%. The market is softening modestly from its 2022 peak but remains at occupancy levels well above the national STR median.
The inventory splits sharply between entire-place and private-room listings: 12,230 of approximately 15,248 tracked units are whole-home properties (80%), with 2,997 private-room listings (20%) and 21 shared-room listings. The 1BR segment dominates at 7,894 listings, followed by 2BR (3,504), 3BR (2,172), 4BR (1,008), and 5BR+ (640). The rental demand score of 90.7 out of 100 is among the highest in the Pacific Northwest, but the investability score of 48.9 and total score of 50.9 reflect constraints from high home values and regulatory restrictions that limit non-resident investor models.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Everett regulates short-term rentals under Everett Municipal Code 19.08.150, which was repealed and replaced by Ordinance 4102-25, effective July 8, 2025. The current rules impose meaningful restrictions that investors should review carefully.
Key requirements: Operators must register the STR with the City Clerk’s office and hold an annually renewed city business license. Proof of liability insurance covering STR use is required. The operator (owner or property manager) must reside at the property and be available 24/7. A primary residence may only be rented while the operator is absent for a maximum of 90 days per year. No individual, household, or entity may operate more than two STR sites in the city. Total guests per site may not exceed eight (including any accessory dwelling unit).
STRs must be in a dwelling unit or accessory dwelling unit and are permitted in residential and mixed-use zones (Neighborhood Residential, Urban Residential, and Mixed Use zones). They are prohibited in Light Industrial and Heavy Industrial zones. No STR identifying signage is allowed on the property.
On taxes, operators must collect and remit a 3% city lodging tax on STR revenue, in addition to applicable state and county lodging taxes.
The owner-occupancy and primary-residence requirements make Everett structurally unsuitable for a non-resident investor buying a dedicated STR property. The 90-day annual cap, two-property limit, and in-person availability requirement are all material constraints relative to markets with no such rules. Investors should confirm current fee schedules and ordinance text with the Everett Planning Department.
Market Comparison
Everett’s April 2026 occupancy of 62.6% sits well above the US STR median of approximately 55%, a position consistent with the market’s strong year-round demand profile. Its ADR of $159/night is below the national median of approximately $220, reflecting a market where 1BR urban listings (the largest inventory segment) dominate and compress the blended average.
Within the greater Seattle metro, Everett competes with Lynnwood, Mukilteo, and the Eastside communities for regional STR demand. Its lower ADR versus downtown Seattle is partly offset by its higher occupancy, resulting in a RevPAR of $99.58 that is competitive for the region.
The professional management sector is large and concentrated at the top. Blueground leads with 508 listings and 265 reviews at a 4.36 average rating. The low review count relative to listings (0.52 reviews per listing) suggests Blueground operates primarily in the mid-term or corporate housing segment rather than short-stay leisure. Evolve holds 181 listings and 4,933 reviews at a 4.55 rating. Vacasa operates 151 listings with 8,263 reviews at a 4.47 rating. Snowball Rentals (139 listings, 4.78 rating) and Vince (132 listings, 12,247 reviews, 4.57 rating) round out the top five. Vince’s 12,247 reviews on 132 listings (92.8 reviews per listing) is notably high and reflects a high-volume, well-reviewed single operator rather than a traditional property management company.
