Rural setting with rivers and rustic scenery
Canyon Creek is in Snohomish County in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range. It's north of Granite Falls, the nearest town for essentials. "Our family has lived here since 1990," says Steven Hume, designated broker for Hume Real Estate. "We have enjoyed the peaceful environment and great neighbors. There's easy access to amenities, but it's just far enough out to enjoy country living."
The waterway called Canyon Creek runs north of Mountain Loop Highway, and the Stillaguamish River runs on the west and south sides. The surroundings are rural, with some agricultural and outdoor recreation sites, like Stillaguamish Tribe Brenner Creek Hatchery, Cascade Camp Park and Iron Mountain Stables.
Forested land and residential areas in Canyon Creek
Much of Canyon Creek is unoccupied forests, including land under the stewardship of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Home developments are somewhat isolated, with clusters of streets branching off bigger roads like Mountain Loop Highway, Jordan Road and Chappel Road.
There are some vintage cabins on wooded or riverside lots. Later construction includes split-levels, ranch-style homes, contemporaries and manufactured homes. Houses with chalet-inspired designs have elements like steeply pitched roofs, balconies and lofts. Due to the wide range of house types and lot sizes, prices range from the low-$300,000s to $1 million. Some locations include homeowners associations with annual fees of $100 to $325. The gated community of Rainbow Springs, set along Rainbow Lake, has more than 200 lots, private parks and riverfront access.

State Route 92, Granite Falls Park & Ride, Bus 280
Not all residential areas have sidewalks, but walking is relatively safe as traffic and speeds are subdued by curved or short streets, some with cul-de-sacs. From Canyon Creek, it's about 20 miles to Everett via state Routes 92 and 204, then the drive south on Interstate 5 to Seattle is 45 miles more. Community Transit's Route 280 bus goes from Granite Falls Park & Ride to Everett Station.
Seasonal conditions including wintry weather
Winter in the mountains is picturesque, but it can also be a challenge. Road conditions are dependent on the weather. "It can be hard to get around. Plows go out pretty soon, but that depends on how far up Mountain Loop Highway people live," Clemenshaw says. Power outages, often caused by high winds or snow accumulation, sometimes last a few days due to difficulty accessing downed lines.
