Snohomish County, Washington located just

a unique treasure trove of diverse opportunity

Snohomish County, WA
Snohomish (sno-HOH'-mish) County is nestled
between the sparkling blue waters of Puget
Sound and the rugged, snow-capped peaks of
the Cascade Mountains. Just 15 miles north of
Seattle, 100 miles south of Vancouver, and a
short ferry ride away from the San Juan Islands
or Olympic Peninsula, Snohomish County is
ideally situated for exploring the entire Pacific
Northwest.
No trip to Snohomish County is complete
without taking the time to discover our great
outdoors. A recreational mecca with temperate
climate encourages year-round outdoor fun.
Whether it’s breathtaking views from the
Cascade Mountains, white water rafting on the
Skykomish River, leisurely floats to view Bald
Eagles or exciting encounters with Orca whales
in Port Gardner Bay, there’s exciting outdoor
adventure for everyone. Pack your hiking boots
and explore the rural walking trails, or try
mountain biking in the summer or snow shoeing
in the winter, Snohomish County has endless
outdoor opportunities all within minutes of
first class hotels and B&B’s, or rustic cabins and
campgrounds.
Encounter breath-taking views and aweinspiring innovations. Take your pick from our
fleet and take flight in an ultralight, helicopter,
glider or hot air balloon. Or free fall if you dare
to sky dive.
So whatever you’re up for – whether camping
or canoeing, kayaking or casinos, shopping
or restaurants, aviation or the arts—we invite
you to open up . . . to life, to adventure, and to
discovery.
