Getting Here & parking

Sorticulture is located in the heart of downtown Everett. If you haven't been to downtown Everett before, we think you'll love it! It's hip, historical, tree-lined and features excellent restaurants, bars, coffee shops, stores and so much more. We highly recommend doing some wandering before or after the festival to check out all the awesomeness.

There are many transportation options for people coming from both near and far:

  • Driving - easy access from I-5 and U.S. 2
  • Transit - frequent service nearby from Everett, Community and Sound Transit
  • Biking - with nearby bike racks
  • Trains - Amtrak Cascades and Empire Builder 
  • E-Scooters - Lime
  • Ride-hailing - taxis, Uber and Lyft
  • Free event shuttle on festival days

Hop aboard the shuttle service provided by Everett Transit for stress-free parking and a complimentary ride to Sorticulture, the Everett Farmers Market on June 8, and nearby graduations at Angel of the Winds Arena.  Enjoy seamless travel and make the most of your downtown adventures.
