Everett Poetry Night has been Everett, Washington’s premier poetic outlet since 2006. Gathering every Thursday, (except major holidays), to share poetry and song. We welcome everyone from the page poet to the slam poet, from the rapper to spoken word artist and singer songwriter.
Everett Poetry Night was born at Café Zippys in 2006. Founded and hosted by Garrett Rutledge whose goal was to bring together poets of all ages, skill, and styles into a blended environment that enriched the creative spirit in us all. In August 2013, Garrett passed on the guidance of Everett Poetry Night to Duane Kirby Jensen, who continues to build upon the foundation Garrett built.
New Location as of January 2022:

At Everett Poetry Night, We Trust Our Words

Open-Minded Enough to Embrace
the Range of Topics Shared.
Monday is the new night for Poetry! The Sister’s Restaurant has been a great venue. It has been part of our refreshed vitality. Unfortunately, we poets have been a bit to rowdy, generating a number of noise complaints. To mitigate this, we have moved to Monday Nights, a night those we have disturbed are closed. The move will allow us to bring the mic back…. Join us. Poetry should be festive and spontaneous.
Everett is 25 miles (40 km) north of Seattle and is one of the main cities in the metropolitan area and the Puget Sound region. It is the seventh-largest city in the state by population, with 110,629 residents as of the 2020 census, and has become a bedroom community for Seattle in recent decades — connected to Seattle by Interstate 5 and various public transit services at Everett Station.
