Granite Falls is a small mountain community with suburban traits
Granite Falls is a small Snohomish County community of roughly 4,700, set between the Pilchuck and Stillaguamish rivers in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range. The region, home of Coast Salish tribes, developed around precious metal mining in the late 1800s. "I love Granite Falls. It doesn't feel like most of the towns in the greater Seattle area," says Joey Duwe, a real estate broker with John L. Scott Snohomish. "It's a very homey, kind of down-to-earth blue-collar town where kids still ride their bikes around."

Homes in Granite Falls span centuries of design
Granite Falls' oldest homes, mostly farmhouses, cottages and Craftsman bungalows, date from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Later 20th-century architecture features ranch styles and split-levels.

Prices range from about $370,000 for older homes under 1,000 square feet to $730,000 for newer residences more than twice the size.

Major highways, public transit options and healthcare
Downtown and some residential pockets are pedestrian-friendly areas with sidewalks. For longer distances, most people drive. It's about 15 miles to Everett and 45 miles to Seattle or Bellevue. State Route 92 goes through the north part of Granite Falls as Quarry Road and meets Mountain Loop Highway to the east. "Aside from Granite Falls being a quiet bedroom community for commuters to Everett, Bellevue and Seattle, the unique thing about it is its gateway to the Mountain Loop Highway," Duwe says. Destinations off the loop include the Big Four Ice Caves and Verlot, a small mountain community.
Another way to get around is Community Transit's Route 280 bus from Granite Falls Park & Ride to the Everett Station, where Amtrak and connecting buses to Seattle are available. It's about 23 miles from Granite Falls to Everett's Seattle Paine Field International Airport, also called Paine Field, and Snohomish County Airport. Service is via Alaska Airlines. For more options, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is roughly 56 miles away. Skagit Regional Health–Granite Falls Family Medicine is on Stanley Street. About 15 miles away, Everett and Arlington both have hospitals.

Places to eat include Playa Bonita Mexican Restaurant, Buzz Inn Steakhouse and Omega Pizza & Pasta. "Omega's is so good, and the servings are big.

Wintry weather affects roads and can cause power outages
Heavy snowfall and low temperatures can affect road conditions and utility services. There may be fewer issues closer to downtown than farther into the mountains, where plows may not reach the roads as quickly. Power outages caused by high winds or snow accumulation can sometimes last a few days because of delays in accessing downed lines.
