When first moving to Washington, D.C., I didn't know many people outside of the office. InterNations has changed that with some exciting events.
Living in Everett
The largest city in Snohomish County, Washington, Everett is a fascinating, diverse, and culturally rich place to live and work in. Home to the biggest marina on the whole of America's East Coast, Everett sees a lot of expatriates moving to the area to take advantage of not only the travelling opportunities. The US Navy Homeport, Naval Station Everett, is also positioned in the city, offering thousands of service-related jobs. The 'All-American City', as it's sometimes referred to by the locals, has the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour, too. This tour takes you around Everett's aviation production facility, and shows you the place where the 747 model is made, in addition to other widely used models of airliner. The Future of Flight Foundation is also based at the museum, which is an organization that is dedicated to educating others about the history and development of aviation. If you're thinking of living in Everett, but you need some advice about living abroad as an expatriate in Everett first, you should join the growing InterNations community of global minds.

Moving to Everett
Many people move to Everett every year to take advantage of the job opportunities that the thriving aerospace industry provides. Aside from that there is a wealth of cultural activity, with the Comcast Arena being just one of Everett's many music and arts venues. The InterNations platform exists to make your move and life abroad easier. Our Expat Magazine, for example, has plenty of details all about moving abroad. There are articles written about the moving process itself, and the kinds of plans that you need to put in to place before you move away. While some of the articles are written by expatriates who wish to share their experiences with you, others are penned by the InterNations in-house staff to provide you with trustworthy information. Moving to Everett doesn't have to be a struggle, and getting in touch with other expats on the InterNations platform will make your move that little bit easier.
Working in Everett
Originally involved heavily in the lumber trade, the economy in Everett has since become more focused on technology, aerospace and the service industries. The major employers in the area are Boeing, where major airliners are constructed, the US Naval Station, and the Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. During the majority of the last decade, there were more than 80,000 people employed in Everett. If you're about to start your life as an expat working in Everett, but you need advice on how to handle taxation, working visas, and navigating cultural differences, then you should join InterNations and have a look at our members-only forums and discussion boards. There are thousands of posts all about working abroad and numerous other topics, many of which are made from expatriates that have lived in two countries or more, making for a truly international community.
