Port of Everett is a great, quiet, easy to get to marina. Thedocks are new with inline pump out. There is easy access to bars and restaurants within walking distance. Port of Everett is undergoing a major multi-million dollar renovation and the evidence is clear.
Deer Harbor is a family friendly marina and resort with a few issues. There is no cell phone coverage (and I mean NONE) and the internet is terrible. If you are looking to stream movies for your children, this is not the marina to come to. The pool is nice but due to the guidelines set it is a real struggle to get any pool time. The store/coffee shop is understaffed so be prepared for long waits for your morning coffee. The staff is helpful and friendly. The docks are nice and the beach is close by for walk and play. Jones Island is a short dingy ride away where one can take advantage of the great hikes with spectacular views.
Poulsbo Marina is a great, low key get away. The Scandivanian town has great shops and restaurants. Good bakery and coffee shops. If you need marine supplies the marine store is good. Staff are friendly and helpful. The cons: wifi is terrible and the washroom facilities are pretty basic. Take your flip flops into the shower.
