Hmm... that's not much time. For one of our better scenic destinations, try Snoqualmie Falls. You should be able to make it down there in about an hour, hour and a half from Everett.

The drive up the Mountain Loop Highway out of Granite Falls is beautiful, and very reachable from Everett.

A ferry ride across the sound (Puget Sound) is always a favorite. Mukilteo is just south of Everett, and there is a ferry to Whidbey Island. The wait can be quite long on weekends, so if you have a weekday to kill, that might be better. You can then drive up the island and around, going over Deception Pass on the way. Beautiful views from the bridge over the pass, with parking on both ends, so you can walk it. On the way back south, don't just head out to I-5, head down the Skagit Valley, through LaConner, Stanwood, and then down past Warm Beach (you can google map those places).

Or, rather than driving up the island to Deception Pass, the other alternative is to go out to Fort Casey, and take the Port Townsend ferry over to the Peninsula. From there, make your way down to Kingston, and take that ferry back to the mainland, which drops you in Edmonds. That's a big day, so leave early. And, again, weekend ferries get full, and waits can be terribly long. Best do it on a weekday.

So, there's a few things you can do out of Everett. There is plenty of other stuff to do, but many of our most famous local attractions remain closed. For example, the Pike Place Market on the Seattle waterfront is really cool, but I'm just not sure if it's even "open", or to what degree it might be "open". Hopefully others will chime in.
