Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary

Perfect place for a peaceful walk close to home. It's easy to forget it's within a mile of Boeing. The trails are fairly short with both loops taking only 30-45 minutes. For such a small location the parking is generous and there is a public restroom. The trails are very well kept with benches scattered along the way. They are hard pack dirt other than the actual boardwalk. Be prepared for slick leaves and possibly muddy shoes in damp weather. I'm only giving 4 stars because the posted signs very clearly say No Pets but I have always seen people walking their dogs. The signs either need updating or actually enforcement.

Lovely park, I didn't have enough time to do the whole park but I will definitely be back!

I love this place. It has been more busy lately since they have cleaned up and made more trails to walk in. The restrooms used to be open, but the city of Everett no longer has rangers to open them. They have provided a porta potty, but it's usually dirty. Please go to the bathroom before you head here. Also bring your own dog bags and dogs need to be leashed. Of course, some people don't leash their dogs, so please be on alert. When it snows, the wood walk paths are slippery. They did just put in slip resistant strips as of 1/30/2026, on the wood paths to help. Other than that, it's still a great place to walk your dog(s) and enjoy the nature preserve.

Lovely loop trail with informational signs, a "cave" viewing spot near the parking lot, a grassy spot next to the parking lot with picnic tables, occasional bridges and boardwalk areas (I take a surprising amount of pleasure from walking on a boardwalk 😆) and an offshoot trail that you can go down and back, but you can hear the noise from the nearby roads and Boeing freeway the entire time. It's not so loud that I didn't enjoy it, but I do wish it had been a little quieter. Also parking says it's limited to 3 hours, but I walked everything easily in less than an hour.

A nice little set of trails that is quiet and out of the way on the weekends. Has an inner loop that includes many boardwalks to keep the trail accessible during the wet season, though they may be slippery, and a nice long outer wrimeter trail that is dog friendly. There are good clean bathroom facilities with running water and flush toilets for men and women as well as informational and interpretive signage about the wetlands everywhere. Plenty of trash receptacles for pet and other waste along the trail and a nice paved parking lot. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love this walking trail. It is very easy to walk and to find your way around. There are benches along the way, ponds hidden behind the bushes, and beautiful trees! I come walk here whenever I need to clear my mind. Of course, make sure to not bring any valuables or not leave them in your car because break ins are on the rise. Very beautiful place

After 14 years in Everett and this is my first time coming here. It is so peaceful, not busy at all, aside from a couple of cars in the parking lot, there was no one on the trail.
