Flying High Above Everett
Tired of Shopping? Try Ziplining at the Mall
A view of the zipline positioned near a suburban neighborhood; the clear sky helps to calm any nerves.
A 470 feet zipline ride awaits you in the Everett Mall parking lot. A company called Zipline Junky recently set up near Regal Cinemas for adventurous shoppers.
For just $10, during the day you can ride with the view of the sky in the reflection of the pond. By night the line is lit up; the Zipline Junky crew decorates the lines with string lights when it gets dark.
At first glance the zipline looks like it’s going to be a quick, boring ride. But when I stepped off the ledge and sunk into the harness it actually felt like I was flying. It reminded me of California Soarin’ in Disneyland. The feeling of the wind blowing past me and the glistening water right below was different from any other experience.
The zipline is available Monday through Saturday 10-9 p.m. and Sunday 11-6 p.m. Anyone from 40-250lbs. and a maximum height of 6 feet and 3 inches is welcome to ride. The next time you’re out shopping at the Everett Mall consider exploring your wild side.

My daughter and I will be traveling from Vancouver to Seattle in mid-August on vacation. Found two related zip line locations. The subject one at the Everett Mall and another called Zipline Junky in Kirkland. We have never done this. Any suggestion as to one location vs. the other as to the quality and cost of the ride would be appreciated. Any other ideas about stopping in either Everett or Kirkland would also be welcomed.
We’re looking forward to our trip to the Pacific NW. Thanks.
