Such an amazing spot to spend time outdoors. One thing to keep in mind--if you're planning to walk along the beach, definitely check the tide beforehand. When the tide is high, a large part of the beach gets covered, and you'll miss out on the best walking areas. Aside from that, it's a great place for a picnic or just hanging out with friends. There's plenty of open space for volleyball, frisbee, or whatever games you want to bring. Beautiful scenery and a relaxing vibe all around--definitely worth a visit! read more

Harborview Park - Entrance - Parks Near Me - Everett, Washington

I was searching for somewhere to take my dogs for a walk and found this park through Yelp. It's such a great spot to enjoy lunch and a view. The park itself is pretty big, a nice large lawn with picnic tables and plenty of space to set up a picnic on the grass. Most people seemed to be enjoying lunch in their car or on the grass or next to their cars. A few folks set up their lawn chairs and enjoyed the sunshine but point is, theres a lot space to enjoy the park however you want, it's pretty great! As for dog walking it wasn't a large area for dogs to roam around, dogs must stay on leash or you risk a fine according to the signs there, but it's still a nice area to bring your dog to while you enjoy the view. I had seen pictures of dogs in the water so I knew there had to be a trail somewhere. The lawn has a few levels to it and a lot of grassy spots areas to hang out in between the bushes and off to the left we found a dirt road. The signage was spray painted so you cant read it and the path looks pretty used so we went down it and came to the traintracks. We crossed those and found the beach where further down we saw some other people. Our dogs loved it, they got to enjoy the sunshine, roam on the grass, walk around and swim! We definitely plan on coming back just to enjoy coffee and a view, or have a nice lunch date, watch the sunset, theres quite a few fun possibilities here! read more

While I can't say definitively if Bon Jovi has been to Harborview Park, I'm sure that the band could've written a song like this: Shot through the heart and you're to blame You give other parks a bad name This park is free, no entry for sale Beauty like heaven, never hot like hell The views here got a hold on me So relaxing and tranquil, don't wanna leave Ohhh, there's lots of fun Grassy space for dogs to run Having a picnic, don't wanna be done Shot through the heart and you're to blame You give other parks a bad name Chilled at the park, kids played their games You give other parks a bad name Coming from a hot climate, the cool breezes of Harborview Park are a lovely change. The views of nature and the sounds of the ocean were relaxing and there were some nice shells that I spotted on the beach. I'd like to return when I'm in the area. Great park with an ocean view! read more

This place is a gem. On a sunny day you get a beautiful view of the sound. Perfect place for a picnic though I only saw 3 tables or so. There were a bunch of wildflowers and poppies at the edge of the park, just absolutely stunning! Limited parking for about 10 cars. Pull up, park and enjoy the view! read more

I took my dog here for a walk and I imagined this park to be bigger than it was. It has a little grass field area with a gravel/dirt path that boarders the field and ends abruptly at the road to the side of the park entrance. It has a very pretty view of the water, but was hoping for longer trail. Or at least a looped trail. read more

We stopped here to explore and have a quick walk but ended up not exploring the area extensively.... I don't fully remember the reason for this.... Just lacking inspiration. This park appears to be well maintained with steady though not busy use. Not sure if we'd go out of our way to come here but it was an enjoyable stop on a pleasant day. read more

I love this place! A small gem that I found. Good parking, benches, and seating areas and you can even sit with a blanket on the grass while watching the water views. You can take a small stroll too around the park and there are wildflowers! Great sunset, especially during the summer! read more

Beautiful view. Have even seen a whale from there. But the place has the most annoying people who come there, park and then blast their music and never once even look at the wonderful nature around. This isn't a night club or a cantina bar or a bus stop. I get tired of the noise from people who act like it is a hangout instead of a park. Shut the music off and enjoy the wonders of nature. Not your drugs and cigarettes and vape and loud music. Tons of place in downtown Everett for you to go and do that. Like.... your own apartment or slum perhaps? Respect nature when you are out in nature. Leave your noise at home. read more

Do not pass this up. For us it was Salish paddle boarders, Victoria Canada across the strait, light winds, no clouds; the whole subtle experience is mind bending. We got lucky with pure sunshine and 70 degrees when we hit this spot. I left with the vague notion that when Juan De Fuca and his galleon saw this 300 years ago, he and his sailors must have been thinking " If the savages don't kill us, maybe we should stay and breed with them." They didn't, but the Europeans "settled" it anyway. Every time I push a metal caged shopping cart around an air conditioned grocery store under florescent lights my memory of this place and what it was before our arrival as the more " civilized, evolved culture " and what happened into a pristine, unaltered wilderness haunts me. The whole northwest of the USA emanates these vibes. I am not woke or a self-hating white person. Sorry, I got a tad political there. See it for yourself and don't get upset if you don't have 5g cell coverage 24/7. read more

Beautiful park, especially since last year's renovation. Great place to take in a sunset. The only negative is that lots of trashy people come here to smoke chronic and stink up the place. read more

Great park, is a little far away towards the bay/Puget Sound but totally worth the drive. Nice views of the sunset and ships passing by. Easy parking. read more

Very nice park with a beautiful view of the water and fresh cut grass! There are some tables nearby to relax and have a small picnic (although they are a little dirty but hey, it's the outdoors). There's an area where you can set up a friendly game of volleyball too! There's a parking lot that may get full depending on the day. I saw lots of people with their dogs here and even a group of students and parents taking pictures for prom night! This place definitely is scenic enough for a beautiful prom backdrop! read more

Really pretty place to hang out in Everett! Even during a cold, rainy day, the view is great. After taking me to get burgers, my boyfriend surprised me with eating lunch here! It was a nice place to relax and watch the boats rather than staying and eating with the loud background conversation of other diners. When we were there, I noticed several other people coming and going with their lunches or mid-day coffee doing the same thing we were - just hanging out and enjoying some down time. Only sad thing is - we got out of the car to go read a few infographics/brochures on the park only to find all of the little info kiosks had all the paper ripped off the stands, so... read more

I do enjoy this place it's have good view and could be romantic to see the sky and sunsets. Will go visit again!

Beautiful view enjoy going down the water I recommended for tourists to come visit this amazing park.

HARBORVIEW PARK - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In what seems at times to be a world of political and economic strife desperate for a return to ethical behavior, honesty, and integrity - there is a place you can go to recharge your batteries, take in the wonders that God has provided to you and enhance your faith in humanity. For free, go to Harborview Park to fill up your senses with a 180 degree VIEW of Possession Sound (see photos). DESCRIPTION: The 8.4 acre Park is really not a complicated area - mostly consisting of lawn and some shade trees located on a high bluff, maybe 7 stories above the Puget Sound. There are sitting & picnic benches and barbecue pits plus a vast lawned area to walk the dogs, throw footballs and Frisbees, kick soccer balls, play bad mitten, fly kites and electric gliders, catch some sun and feed French fries to a few seagulls. You can have a wedding or party or put on an event. You can watch container ships, Coastguard cutters, sailboats, speedboats, tugs pushing barges and occasionally frigates, destroyers, cruisers and the Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier sailing to and from their home port at Everett Marina or Naval Station Everett. You can see the Everett waterfront, Mt Baker, Hat Island, Whidbey Island and the ferries crossing from Clinton to Rose Point in Mukilteo to the west. You can listen to the birds singing in the morning and view breathtaking sunsets over the Olympic Mountains and Whidbey Island to the west. It is like watching a big stage with life outside playing before your very eyes. Then there is this large PARKING LOT. You can drive in and park -- snack, take a snooze, read a book, vegetate, watch sunrises, sunsets, shipping and people laughing and enjoying the moment and a 180 degree view AND never leave your car. BEACH and HIKING TRAILS: You can take a trail down past the old tank farm (oil tanks removed and area cleaned up) about halfway down the bluff. This area might be a great location for a future PARK ADDITION - hmmm. The trail then continues down to the waterfront. Be careful when you cross the four well traveled Burlington Northern / Sounder railroad tracks along the waterfront to the sandy beach to walk the dogs or go on your morning or evening walk -- trains can be fatal. Then there is GLENWOOD CREEK that runs along the eastern end of the Park with hiking trails and a glistening brook with entry points from the waterfront and the high bluff above. PARK HISTORY: It all started 1-22-1855 when territorial Governor Isaac Stevens met at Point Elliott at the north tip of Mukilteo with 82 Native American leaders including Chief Seattle. In the presence of many tribesmen, The Point Elliott Treaty was signed by which native inhabitants ceded their lands to the US government in exchange for relocation to reservations, retention of hunting and fishing rights, and an amount of cash. MUKILTEO became the first settlement (1860) in what later became known as Snohomish County (created by the territorial legislature 1-14-1861). Jacob Fowler was named the first Postmaster 7-21-1861 and referred then to the area by its Indian name - Mukilteo. Interestingly, Mukilteo was not incorporated until 1947 (population then 700 -- 22,000 in 2010). During this period, Mukilteo (translation: "good camping ground") was essentially situated at the towns northern point (today the location of Lighthouse Park and the Mukilteo Ferry) called "OLD TOWN". EVERETT: In 1861, Dennis Brigham built the first cabin in what is now referred to as Port Gardner on Everett's Waterfront. Plans for platting the town were formulated by the actions of Henry Hewitt, Charles Colby and Colgate Hoyt in 1890. The town was named after Hoyt's 15 year old son Everett and incorporated on 5-4-1893, population 5,600 (105,000 in 2010), the same year that the Great Northern railway (Today the Burlington Northern Santa Fe) came to town. Everett, Washington's 6th largest city (35 miles north of Seattle), received the All American City award in 2002. CONNECTING MUKILTEO and EVERETT: The Point Elliott site was easiest to access by water routes (first by canoe, then by steamer, and later by passenger and car ferry). Although Great Northern tracks were laid along the Washington coast, the railroad connection primarily was for freight, with limited passenger travel. Road connections from Mukilteo to Everett proved to be a significant challenge for years as the construction cost of spanning 7 gullies slowed progress on a road. Finally, MUKILTEO BLVD was officially opened with a grand ceremony in 1914. In 2010, this road still hugs the coast line bordering 3 city parks (Harborview = 8,400 acres; Howarth = 28 acres; Forest = 111 acres) and offers views of Port Gardner Bay as well as sought-after view property for residences.

This park is great for some super casual hangouts. There is a vast open area for sports and a smaller area mostly encased by trees for a more intimate game. Just beware of the high traffic road next to it. The park is invites even furry friends but I don't see many pets. But if they do ever come, there are plenty of doggie bag dispensers, a high tech compression trash bin for those unwanted dog treats, and regular maintenance to both clean and expand the park for future fun. With ample parking, benches, and a BEAUTIFUL VIEW, where could you go wrong? I just wish there were more picnic tables. read more

I love this small park. There are probably about two dozen parking spots, several picnic tables and a couple of benches. There's shade, there's sun and there are fabulous water views. My husband is on the USS NIMITZ so I always come to this park to see the NIMITZ pull in and out of port. In the summer there are a ton of wild blackberries to be picked although in 2014 they were quite sour...heat 'me up, add some sugar and you've got yourself a nice blackberry syrup though! I bring my dog here a lot. It's a nice small park to walk around. read more

Great place to picnic or throw the frisbee. Great view of Everett waterfront and navel base. Watch the ferries and tug and barges. Hiking trails down to Howarth Park and lower Howarth. Lots of room and flat surface. Parking lot is large and very accommodating. With a GREAT view of Whidbey Island and Gedney (Hat) Island. read more

breathtaking view. I am so fortunate that I live in the Pacific Northwest free parking read more

This park is good for relaxing.sunsets are beautiful. If your into drawing painting or photography this is the spot. Picnics here are the best. Walking your dog. And so much more read more

I am so glad this is right down the street from where I live! Fantastic view, on a sunny day, nothings beats it. When the weather's right, will either head here before work, or on my lunch, grab a sandwich or a smoothie, and sit in the grass and listen to music. Everything then feels right with the world and makes me fully appreciate the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. read more

If you work up in the Everett area and you are having one of those days where all your zany co-workers are grating on your everloving last nerve - then Harborview Park is your lunchtime oasis. They do have some picnic tables, but most folks just park and eat in their cars and enjoy the unobstructed view of Possession Sound. I even keep my binoculars in my car, in case I want to look at the goings on down on some boat, or view a seagull up close. It's a beautiful view! read more

We came here last night because all the spots were taken down at the Mukilteo Lighthouse park. We just had a nice last-minute barbeque and it was pretty good at this park. Easy parking, lots of grass for the doggy to run around, we got a grill and table with a great view of the sunset. We were there from 6-10 and it was just beautiful; talk about an unobstructed view! I"m also glad there's a lot of space, so people don't feel like they're sharing their meal with the person next to them. Good times! read more

The first time I came here with a friend to study since it was an extremely nice day. I was surprised that there was barely anyone at the park! Made my study experience a lot better because it was so quiet. I can only imagine how packed this place gets when people are off work and want to spend time with their family in the sun while they barbeque since there are grills available. The parking area is a little on the smaller side but it is a small park, so I guess that's understandable. read more

This place is quite beautiful. Lots of grass to lay out a blanket and eat lunch. There's also picnic tables if you so desire. Watch out for the dog poo! Owners and their lack of cleaning up enrages me. There's also quite a few hiking trails. Steep in some areas. We went down to find a Geocache, but found as you went to the bottom near the creek, it was much too muddy for casual shoes. We'd love to go back for a picnic and scrabble sometime. read more

IMPORTANT NOTICE: After checking the place out a few weeks ago and seeing if it was photo worthy, I brought my friends here to have a photoshoot on the beach. I didn't think anything would happen but a railroad cop came down the hill to where you cross the tracks to get on the beach and sat there for sometime. I thought it was fine because people come down here all the time and as long as you don't play chicken with trains you're safe. Well apparently it's illegal to cross the tracks unless it's at a legit crossing. The cop was nice and didn't give us tickets but told us not to come down here again because people have been killed at this sight before and if a train parks there then it will be hard to get around. I don't plan on going down there again. The grassy area up top is nice with a great view but if you DON'T WANT TO GET A TICKET OR RISK GETTING HURT, then stay away from the tracks and just stay in the grassy hill and admire the view there. The cop comes at random times but you never know when they'll come or how long they'll stay. They told us that people come down here all the time and it's hard to stop it from happening because there are only 5 cops that work specifically with the railroad company. Until the Howarth park bridge(legal track crossing) opens up after repairs, I will not be returning to take photos here. Estimated time for opening is the end of August the last I saw. Just a fair warning. read more

Favorite spot to relax with my family! It's never over crowded. the view is breathtaking! My kid loves it!
