Everson, Washington is a quaint little town on the banks of the Nooksack River that’s retained much of its charm even as many of the small communities around it have urbanized. The Dutch settled it in the late 1800s with the intent of raising dairy cows in the green pastures near the base of the Cascade Range. That Dutch influence can still be seen today in the architecture of many of the houses and churches in town. In the ensuing years, the timber and paper industry became prominent employers, followed by a boom in fruit and berry production by small farms.
