Everett welcomes electric scooters on Friday

LIME scooters will be on Everett streets for three months as part of a pilot program.

Everett is the latest city in Washington to jump on the electric scooter bandwagon. 

LIME, known for its bike and small vehicle rental programs, will deliver 100 scooters to the city on Friday as part of a 90-day pilot program. 

The city council discussed the program at Wednesday's meeting, bringing concerns to LIME representatives about safety, liability and program feedback. 

Formal action was not required by the council to run the program.
