Everett sits at a critical junction where the I-5 corridor meets US-2, the primary route to Stevens Pass and eastern Washington. Home to Boeing's massive Paine Field manufacturing facility — the world's largest building by volume — and a growing commercial airport, Everett generates significant traffic from both daily commuters and industrial operations. Users can also monitor live street feeds along Broadway and Evergreen Way to check for road-level gridlock near the medical center or downtown arena events. The city's position between Seattle and Bellingham makes it a key waypoint for north-south Puget Sound travel.
