To kick-off the celebration for Everett’s big 125th birthday, we will be hosting a scavenger hunt with prizes at the official City of Everett event at the Everett Transit Center. Guests will be able to pick up a scavenger hunt worksheet at our booth that will ask questions that can be answered by checking out all the booths at the event, most of which will have historic photos and/or literature available. Completed worksheets will be eligible to enter a drawing for prizes. The event will include something for everyone including a touch a truck opportunity and other fun activities. Come out and celebrate the City’s 125th birthday!!
