Everson is a city in Whatcom County, Washington, United States.

Everson and the nearby city of Nooksack lie near the foothills of the Cascade mountains in Northwest Washington.

Located on the banks of the Nooksack River, the businesses support the surrounding farms and logging industries.

The valley is heavily influenced by Dutch settlers who established dairy farms on the fertile flood prone land.

Fruit orchards and berry fields also play an important part of the town's economy.

A major traditional village with its own large communal smokehouse, it was called Kwánech ("lots -- at the bottom," referring either to two fish traps at Popehómy or to a shallow area in the river at this site).

In February 2009, a citizens group and local officials proposed consolidating Everson and Nooksack into a single city with a combined population of 3,819 (2010 census).

The neighboring cities shared several municipal services at the time, and a combined government would provide cost savings and advantages in grant writing.

[8][9] The proposal was dropped in May following a unanimous vote by the Nooksack City Council to not move forward based on public feedback.

Public education is provided by the Nooksack Valley School District.
