The planned 10.8-mile leg reaches Everett Station. Everett’s waterways and transport history frame the first city pause, with an Awareness Day scheduled next.

Everett stands between Port Gardner Bay and the Snohomish River. The city describes itself as Snohomish County’s largest, with a historic downtown and a working waterfront. These two bodies of water help explain its position on the regional map: the route reaches a city shaped by both river and saltwater connections.

Everett Station is the planned public anchor. Amtrak’s station history dates the intermodal facility to February 2002 and describes the transport services brought together there. The station brings a modern layer to a city long connected by river, bay and railway.

Day 3 carries 10.8 planned walking miles. The following day remains in Everett for the first of ten Bone Marrow Awareness Days. That arrangement gives the opening chapter two distinct endings: the walking leg into the city and a separate day devoted to the campaign’s educational purpose.

Choose where you live

Continue to the official registry that serves you. It decides eligibility, handles registration and contacts you if you may match a patient.

United States — NMDP

NMDP accepts new registry members who are 18 to 35, live in the US, its territories or freely associated states, can meet NMDP’s health guidelines, and are not already registered through another US organization. Joining happens at home: you answer a few questions on NMDP’s site, they mail you a free cheek-swab kit, and you swab and send it back. Once you are a member you stay listed until you are 61 unless you ask to be removed — 61 is when NMDP takes you off, not an age at which you can join. NMDP makes the final eligibility decision.
