Community Services/Non-Profits in Everett, WA

“My son Ashton has been attending All Aboard for a year now. He loves it there. He has made numerous friends, and he feels like he is a part of something he cares about, and having something for him to be a part of has changed his whole outlook on life. He is definitely a happier adult with disabilities.
They have BINGO, karaoke, art, and crafts and social interactions that become very important as well as once a monthly dances held at Forrest Park.
I feel he is 100% safe as they have plenty of great supervision.
I enjoy volunteering here as well. It's truly a gift to myself every time I am surrounded by these wonderful souls.
Every one of them are precious!”

“This nature walk is delightful.There are some shaded portions of their boardwalk that have gotten a bit funky with algae or something that can make it a bit slippery, and I suggest only going on dry days if you have any mobility impairments.Their artificial stream/fish viewing area is unfortunately skippable. Every time I’ve looked it’s been so dirty/murky there was nothing to see. I feel that it could be better maintained.Their hours are also a bit limited and I really wish they were open on Sundays as that is usually the day my family likes to go on nature walks.But I love the walk and I love supporting the foundation through membership and their cute little shop.”

“I volunteered at the shelter for nearly a decade cleaning cages and/or fostering until I moved away in Sept '23, and I can attest personally to the care, love, and attention given to these magical creatures. Ferrets are often overlooked in animal rescue, and this organization does so much for the pnw community. They are a no-kill shelter and have never, will never turn down a ferret in need. Hands-down my fav non-profit to support.”

“One of my sons and myself decided to check out this organization to get a little help with a bit of food it has changed since I was there maybe 20 years ago and they're still kind of like doing the covid thing where you come to the door and you're separated from the rest of the facility they do have lunch between 1:00 and 1:30 so take note of that it's not a long wait you know there's the yard you can sit in or what have you the only problem is is I have a disability with nerve damage so it's very very painful for me to stand in one spot for long periods of time I feel that maybe they're understaffed because my weight for maybe five people ahead of me was literally 2 hours long and God bless the people that work there and the ones that donate but hey if you ever feel like reaching out to a nonprofit organization or you need to help somebody I think it would be the perfect thing to ask them do you need help in the warehouse or do you need help you know serving clients or what have you my family is very grateful for the assistance that we did receive on a temporary time it worked out pretty well and my kids did receive a lot of nutritional good things that they would choose themselves now that was only a random day that was not one of their food boxes that they serve two times a month”

“Enjoyed seeing the Silver Tipsgames here. Easy access from Seattle via public transport. And nice food/drinking establishments near the stadium. Good value for family entertainment. Better than Thunderbirds games in my opinion.”

“Yo the last persona comment I am a 45 year old law abiding citizen single mom with a 9 year old and 12 year old daughter, a son who just graduated from a university in another state. I am homeless, I have lung tumors and poor health. These guys stepped up. What you said about them helping criminals and whoever else I can't speak to that. I can speak to who I am, and I am grateful. and I am not what you said.”

“Very good friendly staff. It is always a pleasure to visit and contribute my blood donation to help others. I'll continue to visit the Everett Oak St. location for all my furniture donations.”

“I am a cashier volunteer for Assistance League and I am really sorry for any of the folks who felt they weren't valued. I myself do give equal value to each customer who shops at our store. We are all in this together and I believe in the golden rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you! We volunteer at Assistance League because we care. Please don't sling arrows when expressing your opinions. We are from all walks of life and different economic conditions. Some of our volunteers benefited from our School Children's Programs and that's why they came back as adults to be on the other side of the giving. Hope this helps let you all know you ARE valued and we will try harder to take your words to heart.”

“Truly amazing place! I wish I'd known about it a year ago when I first found myself on the streets with nobody to help me through the worst time in my life! I'm so thankful a new friend took me over there to meet everyone and show me how wonderful some people still are out here! They offered me food and clothes and help with finding a place to live a hot shower and a place to take a nap for a few hours and said I can wash my clothes there too! I will definitely be going back there soon! It's so nice to know there's a place like that when u feel like u have nobody and nothing in this world theres little light in your path to help u find your way.. God bless these women who are there for the less fortunate. Your truly Angels in my life!”

“Love this non profit. They have a great restaurant and resale furniture store on sight. Both are used in their training program, teaching people marketable job skills, including 4 weeks of soft skills training. Great staff who help students find jobs once they finish the program.”

“A great place to find those items..you might be looking for.. hardware, furniture, miscellaneous items.. always find something I need....Wonderful and friendly crew always welcomes you ...”

“Updated May '23: Still the best (and realistically, the only) place to go. Have always been thankful they are here. Just coming back into the "fold".Always 5+ stars!!!For those with HIV, the place to go. Carrie is the best Case Manager, but I AM biased.”

“This outlet does NOT disappoint! It’s one of the most organized Goodwill Outlets I’ve been to and the staff is friendly. I have found some really great stuff here over the years. Kids toys, bike, scooter, clothes and a bunch of shoes for such good prices and good condition saving us hundreds and hundreds of dollars. The past few times I’ve went the parking wasn’t an issue, there was actually plenty of parking. Just expect to leave with more than you hoped to buy.”

“I am a thrift store junkie and visit a thrift shop about twice a week. I love my regular haunts but looking for new pastures, I travelled a bit to reach this one but I'm going to make the journey again soon. This is why: The moment I walked into the store, I was greeted by Holly. You know those robotic welcomes that you often get when walking into any retail store from Walmart to Macy's? This wasn't like that - she made eye contact and gave me as sincere a welcome as I've ever gotten in any store. The store was clean and well organized particularly for a downtown location. Being from out of town and unfamiliar with Everett, I asked for directions from Brit before I left and she put more effort into making sure I would go the right way and not get lost than I remember getting from anyone else ever. I had small encounters with two other employees and they were just as pleasant. Yes, I found a clothing treasure but it wasn't so amazing that I'll travel an hour and forty-five minutes to go back.
I'll be going back because of the employees. Really, really well done.”

“Hey there Cacoon! In a House ! I love your outreach team so much that they've encouraged me to do better live better and be peaceful !

“Housing Hope is a wonderful, effective enterprise making a real difference to communities in Snohomish County. I can think of no more worthwhile target for giving during the holiday period.”

“I have been shopping at Everett Goodwill for years, and I enjoy searching for items needed and fun treasures.Unfortunately, as we all have experience and expressed prices have gone up. But then we take a look at the difficulty in donations and theft.May our community support Goodwill job training.”

“I got membership here due to my daughter’s swim lessons. I ended up enjoying this place so much. Tons of group classes to choose from! The instructors are super friendly! I was also offered orientation of the gym and equipments. Working out is not my vibe but I’m thoroughly enjoying the group classes I take. I do Yoga, Zumba, Barre, Group Power and Group Active. Love each and every one of them. Yet to try Group fight but I’m sure that will be as awesome as the other classes!The front desk is always friendly and never miss to greet! A special shoutout to the girls at the kids zone! My 5 year old looks forward to go kids zone every single day. The girls at the kids zone are very cheerful and friendly with the kids. They sit and spend time with kids to teach them coloring and some art and craft as well. My daughter is always excited to show me her coloring pages and little craft projects she does there while I enjoy my group class.I just wish they had a Sauna here. I enjoy sitting in the hot tub sometimes after my class but Sauna would have been much better! But nonetheless, this place is loved by me and my 5 yr old.”
