I don't have a lot of history for Everett's Blue Moon Tavern, not to be confused with the legendary Blue Moon in Seattle, nor the beer brewed in Denver -- or for that matter with the Blue Moons that at various times poured beers in Bellingham, Bremerton, Eatonville, Spokane, Sunnyside, and Tacoma. As best I can tell, the Everett Blue Moon has been in this location since 1960 (the building was constructed in 1959), following a previous version on Colby Street in the 1940s.

Today's version is a friendly neighborhood dive, serving classic bar grub and karaoke, to a mostly older clientele. But they also sometimes host a live country band.

At the time of this visit it had been owned and run by Val and Jim Baker for the last six years. Additional owners over the years have included Jack Osier, Suzanne Lindblom, Roger Perala, and Angela Bauer.

One nice old school touch is that they have wooden drink tokens.
