Car shipping in Everett and Snohomish County
Everett is the northern anchor of the Puget Sound metro — home to Naval Station Everett, the Boeing Everett factory, Paine Field, and a fast-growing population spread from Mukilteo and Mill Creek up to Marysville and Lake Stevens. All of that generates a steady need for vehicle shipping: sailors and families moving between Navy installations, aerospace engineers relocating for work, Everett Community College and WSU Everett students, families moving in and out along I-5, and retirees heading south for the winter. Evergreen Car Shipping's Everett office, on Wetmore Avenue downtown, is the local point of contact for all of it.
We are a licensed and bonded auto transport broker. We don't run our own trucks; we work with a vetted network of FMCSA-registered carriers that run I-5 between Vancouver, B.C. and California, I-90 east over the Cascades, and every major lane out of the Puget Sound region every week. When you book with our Everett team, we match your vehicle with a carrier already headed your direction, verify their insurance and safety record, lock in an all-in price, and manage the shipment door to door.
Why Everett customers choose Evergreen Car Shipping
Everett sits at the north end of the Seattle metro, and national brokers tend to treat it as an afterthought — "we'll get a truck up there eventually." We don't. Because carriers heading south from the Canadian border and from Skagit County pass directly through Everett, we book pickups here as readily as in Seattle. And every shipment comes with one local number — (425) 532-3379 — that reaches someone who knows your car.
- Navy and military expertise. Active-duty discounts, scheduling around orders and deployments, and experience with every major Navy installation from San Diego to Norfolk.
- All-in pricing. The quote is the price. No dispatch fees, no fuel surcharges, no surprise balance at delivery.
- Door-to-door across Snohomish County. Everett, Mukilteo, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Snohomish, Monroe, Arlington, and beyond.
- Open and enclosed carriers. Affordable open transport for daily drivers; enclosed trailers for classics, collector cars, and high-value vehicles.
- Fully insured, fully documented. Cargo insurance on every truck and a bill of lading inspection at pickup and delivery.
Everett neighborhoods and Snohomish County communities we serve
Our Everett auto transport service covers the city, all of Snohomish County, and the southern part of Skagit County. Carriers regularly pick up and deliver in Downtown Everett, North Everett, Port Gardner, Silver Lake, Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Mukilteo, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Snohomish, Monroe, Bothell, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Arlington, Stanwood, Granite Falls, Tulalip, Mount Vernon, and Whidbey Island, and the rural areas along US-2 and SR-9. Farm addresses out toward Snohomish and Monroe are fine; if a driveway can't handle a semi, the driver meets you on the nearest paved road or in town.
Older parts of North Everett and the Port Gardner neighborhood have narrow streets and mature trees that a 75-foot hauler can't always navigate. When that's the case, your driver will call ahead and meet you nearby with room to load safely — Broadway, Evergreen Way, a large retail lot near the Everett Mall, or a park-and-ride. It's routine and usually within a mile or two of your door. Whidbey Island customers: carriers don't ride the ferry, so we'll arrange a meeting point in Mukilteo or at the north end of the island.

Shipping a car to Everett? Inbound Navy moves and Boeing relocations are just as common as outbound ones. Every lane runs both directions at similar pricing.
What it costs to ship a car from Everett
Everett car shipping cost depends on distance, vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed transport, whether the vehicle runs, and your flexibility on pickup dates. For a sedan on an open carrier, expect roughly $650–$950 to California, $900–$1,350 to Arizona, Colorado, or Texas, and $1,350–$1,850 to Virginia, Florida, or the Northeast. SUVs and pickups add $100–$300. Enclosed transport runs 40–60% more than open. A non-running vehicle adds about $150 for a winch.
Summer is peak season on Navy lanes and for family relocations; booking two to three weeks ahead gets the best price and the most pickup options. Giving the carrier a two- or three-day pickup window instead of a single date also lowers your rate. The instant quote tool at the top of this page gives an exact, all-in price in about 30 seconds — no obligation.
Navy PCS car shipping from Naval Station Everett
Here's how a typical Navy move works with us. Get a quote as soon as you have orders, even if dates are tentative — we'll hold a price and adjust the schedule as things firm up. Carriers can't enter the installation, so we arrange pickup at your off-base housing or a convenient spot near the gate on West Marine View Drive. If you're flying ahead of the car or deploying, we can deliver to a spouse, family member, or your new command's area and handle payment with you remotely. If orders change, call us and we re-route rather than start over. For Pearl Harbor and other OCONUS moves, we handle the land leg to the Port of Tacoma and coordinate with the ocean carrier.
Boeing and aerospace relocations
The Boeing Everett plant and the supplier network around Paine Field move engineers and technicians in and out constantly — to Charleston, Renton, St. Louis, Arizona, and beyond. We work with relocating employees and HR teams on individual and bulk vehicle moves, including invoicing to the employer when a relocation package covers it. Tell us your start date and we'll work backward to a pickup window that gets the car there when you do.
How Everett car shipping works
- Quote. Use the instant quote tool or call the Everett office with your ZIP codes, vehicle, and timing.
- Book. Approve the price and we assign a vetted carrier, confirm the driver and pickup window, and apply any military discount. A small deposit holds your spot; the balance is paid at delivery.
- Pickup. The driver inspects the car with you, documents its condition on the bill of lading, and loads it.
- Transit. Updates as the car moves; reach the driver or our office any time.
- Delivery. Inspect, sign, pay the balance, done.
Preparing your vehicle for transport
Wash the car and photograph all sides so the inspection is accurate. Leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Remove your Good To Go! toll pass, base decals, parking permits, and loose items. Fold in mirrors, remove roof racks, bike carriers, and kayak mounts, and retract antennas. Personal items up to about 100 pounds can ride in the trunk but aren't insured — keep valuables with you. If your truck is lifted or your car is lowered, tell us at booking so we assign a carrier with the right clearance.
Snowbirds and seasonal moves from Snohomish County
Every fall, a wave of Snohomish County retirees heads for Arizona, Palm Springs, and Florida, and we move their cars so they can fly. October and November are the busiest southbound months; March and April are busiest coming back. Book two to three weeks ahead for the best rate, and if you're shipping two vehicles, ask about a multi-car discount — they'll usually ride the same truck.
