Reading the Everett data for roofing

Everett is one of the fastest-growing Seattle-metro suburbs tracked here: 113,567 people (2025 estimate), up 2.8% since 2020[1]. It covers 33.6 square miles (3,380 residents per square mile, the 11th densest), sits entirely in Snohomish County, in ZIP codes 98203, 98201, 98208, 98204, 98207[2].

Roofs of every age sit side by side here: 9% of homes were built in 2010 or later and 48% before 1980[4], so two houses on one street can need very different roof work.

5 ZIP codes cover Everett — 98203 (36% of the city's land), 98201 (25% of the city's land), 98208 (14% of the city's land), 98204 (9% of the city's land), 98207 (1% of the city's land)[5].

No hail or damaging thunderstorm-wind reports fall within 10 miles of central Everett for 2016–2025[3] — true of all 15 Seattle-area suburbs we cover. Reports need an observer, so a quiet record isn't a guarantee.

Median home value: $565,300 (the 5th-lowest of the 15 Seattle-area suburbs we cover); 44% of housing is detached houses[4].
