Visiting With Your Dog

Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary offers a peaceful escape within minutes of Everett's urban center. This wildlife refuge features well-maintained loop trails with a boardwalk, benches, and scenic views ideal for outdoor recreation with dogs.

The sanctuary includes two loop trails that typically take 30-45 minutes to complete. The paths consist of hard-packed dirt with a boardwalk section, making them accessible for most visitors. Benches are scattered throughout for rest stops. The parking lot provides ample space, and public restroom facilities are available on-site.

Dogs are welcome at the sanctuary and should remain leashed while exploring the trails. Visitors should bring their own waste bags for cleanup. The trails are well-maintained, though conditions vary seasonally—expect potentially slick leaves and muddy conditions during damp weather. In winter months, the boardwalk can be slippery, though slip-resistant strips have been added to improve safety.

The sanctuary's proximity to Boeing makes it a convenient option for those seeking nature without traveling far. With its combination of scenic boardwalk views and natural preserve setting, Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary provides a dog-friendly destination for short nature walks and outdoor exercise close to home.
