Everett, WA (May 23, 2025) - Evergreen Way has reopened after being temporarily closed in both directions due to a deadly crash, according to local news sources.
The Everett Police Department (EPD) shared via Facebook that the collision occurred around noon on Thursday, May 22, in South Everett, near the intersection of Southwest Everett Mall Way and Evergreen Way. Two vehicles reportedly struck a motorcycle during the incident.
Authorities confirmed that one person was killed in the crash. As part of their investigation, police shut down a stretch of Evergreen Way near the 10400 block, later reopening the road once the scene was cleared.
We want to offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased victim.
Traffic collisions remain a persistent issue across Washington State, with hundreds of thousands reported each year. Motorcyclists—though only a small fraction of road users—are disproportionately affected. In 2023 alone, Washington saw 891 motorcycle crashes, which tragically led to 92 deaths and 339 serious injuries. These incidents accounted for roughly 15% of all traffic-related fatalities, underscoring the heightened risk faced by motorcyclists.
Most motorcycle accidents stem from some form of driver negligence. Common contributing factors include speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving, and failure to yield. Densely populated areas like Seattle and Tacoma typically report higher crash volumes, while rural roads—where speeds are higher—often experience more severe impacts.
