Our story

A quarter-century of moving Snohomish County.

Everett Shuttle was founded in 1998 with a single van and one route — Everett to SeaTac. The founder had spent a decade driving for taxi companies in Seattle and saw a clear gap: people in Snohomish County needed reliable airport transportation that didn't require gambling on rideshare surge pricing at 4am for an early flight.

"Flat-rate pricing. Background-checked drivers. Show up on time. That was the brief on day one — and 25 years later, it still is."

From that single van, we've grown to 50+ vehicles across eight classes — sedans, SUVs, minivans, Mercedes Sprinters, and 24-passenger shuttle buses. We've expanded from one airport route to door-to-door service throughout every Snohomish County city, plus cruise terminal transfers, wedding logistics, corporate accounts, and group charters.

What hasn't changed: we're still locally owned, still based in Everett, and still operate on the same principle. The drivers you'll meet are employees, not gig workers. They live in the communities they serve. Many of them have been with us for over a decade.

We're not the biggest transportation company in the Puget Sound region. We're not trying to be. We're the one that Snohomish County residents call when the ride actually has to happen — because they know it will.

Mission & values

Three principles, since day one.

Everett Shuttle's values aren't marketing language. They're the operational rules that determine how every ride is dispatched, how every driver is hired, and how every fare is quoted.

N° 01 — Reliability

Show up on time, every time.

Our drivers arrive 10 minutes before scheduled pickup. We track every flight in real time and adjust automatically for delays. If we're late, you don't pay — that's the rule.

N° 02 — Privacy

Your ride is yours alone.

Every Everett Shuttle ride is private — no shared vans, no extra stops, no other passengers. Background-checked drivers who treat your trip with discretion, every time.

N° 03 — Local roots

Built in Everett. Run from Everett.

We're not a franchise, an app, or a national chain. Locally owned and headquartered in Everett, with employee drivers who live in the communities they serve.
