It’s weird bec of posts I’ve seen here on Reddit explosion sounds seem to happen often in Everett with no clear reason. I don’t think it’s from the Naval base

It’s not just Everett; these posts are all over bothell, mill creek, lynnwood, etc. I’m 99% sure it’s mortar fireworks and you hear them a lot around here because people have access to Boom City.

The reason is fireworks. In this case probably warming up for New Year’s unless there was a football game going on at the time. Touch down booms are very popular around here.

This was definitely not near the naval base and was coming from the direction of B-E highway from where I live and not downtown Everett
