Orders to Naval Station Everett? A contract job on the waterfront? Family flying in for a homecoming? Whatever brings you to Everett, the first few weeks are usually the hardest part. You need a place to sleep, cook, do laundry and get work done while you sort out everything else.

A hotel room works for a night or two. For a few weeks or a month, a furnished house is a lot easier to live in. That is where the Silver Lake House in south Everett comes in.

About Naval Station Everett

Naval Station Everett sits on the Everett waterfront at the northeast end of Puget Sound, about 29 miles north of Seattle. It opened in 1994 and is home port to several Navy guided-missile destroyers, plus Coast Guard vessels. Thousands of sailors and civilian staff are assigned to commands there, and the base’s Smokey Point Support Complex sits farther north near Marysville.

That means a steady flow of people arriving in Snohomish County: sailors and families on a move, civilian employees, contractors, and relatives coming to visit. Many of them need somewhere comfortable to land while they look for longer-term housing.

Why a Furnished House Beats a Hotel for a Longer Stay

The Silver Lake House is a 1950s lakefront cabin with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and room for up to 7 guests. It is set up for real day-to-day living:

• Full kitchen so you can cook at home instead of eating out every night.
• Washer and dryer right in the house, for uniforms, work clothes and kids’ laundry.
• Workspace and fast Wi-Fi for paperwork, video calls and house hunting online.
• Pet-friendly (with a pet fee), so the family dog does not have to go to a kennel during the move.
• Separate bedrooms so everyone has their own space, plus a game room with air hockey and its own outside entrance.

After a long day, you come home to lake views, a stone fireplace and a sunken living room instead of a hallway and an ice machine.

Getting Around from Silver Lake

The house is near I-5 in south Everett, so the drive north to the waterfront and downtown Everett is simple. Everett Transit has a bus stop one to two blocks away. Mill Creek’s shops and restaurants are close by, and Boeing, Paine Field and Mukilteo are an easy drive west if a spouse or partner works in aerospace.

On days off, walk the 2.2-mile loop around Silver Lake, which passes two public parks with swimming areas and a disc golf course. You can bring your own kayak or paddleboard to launch from the private dock (life jackets are provided, and power boats are not allowed on the lake).

Good to Know Before You Book

• Monthly and extended stays are welcome.
• Quiet hours are 9 PM to 8 AM, and parties are not allowed.
• There is no fence between the lawn and the water, so keep an eye on little ones and pets.
• No outdoor fires.

If your move is tied to an insurance claim, or you need a furnished monthly rental while your next home is ready, see our temporary and insurance housing page for Everett.
