Lake Stevens is the largest lake in Snohomish County at over 1,000 acres. Common activities along the river include fishing, swimming, boating and skiing. Lundeen Park provides river access through its swimming area; kids can also go to the playground or basketball court. Davies Beach also offers public access for swimming and boat launching. North Cove Park sits next to City Hall and Lake Stevens and also provides swimming access. Those wanting to stay dry can utilize the trails and disc golf course at Catherine Creek Park. Lake Stevens Community Park has several athletic fields and courts for basketball, baseball and softball. The Centennial Trail stretches 30 miles from Arlington to Snohomish, allowing hikers and bikers a unique multi-use trail. Eagle Ridge Community Garden has 74 beds for the community members to grow produce and donate anything to the Lake Stevens Food Bank.

Longtime restaurants still stand on Main Street
The heart of Lake Stevens stands along Main Street, and many of its longtime stores are still standing after decades. Biscuit and Bean is the area’s main coffee shop, with handmade syrups and all its food items in a fresh biscuit. Francisco’s Kitchen & Cantina is an upscale restaurant with outdoor seating. The menu has a Mexican-style flare in its steak, seafood and chicken dishes. Lake Stevens Donut handmakes the classic donut flavors and fresh pastries. Jay’s Market provides the groceries. “Jay’s Market has been down there forever,” Thurston says. “They’ve embraced the small-town community feel.” Folks that need big box stores can go to Highway 9, where there’s a Target. Other shopping around this area includes Ulta, Ross Dress for Less and T.J. Maxx.

Multi-million dollar lakeside home and newer condos
Old Town provides a blend of condos, townhouses and single-family homes from a mix of decades. “New Construction has pretty much taken over. You have 3,000-square-foot homes on 3,000-square-foot lots and smaller homes on larger properties,” Thurston says. The neighborhood’s north side and properties on the lake are mainly from the 21st century. These are primarily craftsman-style single families and townhouses. The 20th-century homes are towards the neighborhood’s center with ramblers, split-levels and traditional styles. Lakeside homes also vary in size and style. “There are still a few cabins left on the lake, but it’s mostly multi-million dollar homes that usually have docks,” she added. The neighborhood also has suburban traits of quieter streets, woodsier landscaping, and private amenities like garages and patios. Condos and townhouse range from $440,000 to $960,000 for a newer property. Lakeside homes range from $700,000 to $2.2 million. Other single-family homes range from $300,000 for a fixer-upper to $1.1 million for a newly constructed contemporary home.

Community members mingle at HarvestFest
North Cove Park serves as the city’s main hub for events. In 2020, the Lake Stevens Farmers Market was a highly requested event from the community. The market has been operating for over five years and attracts dozens of vendors offering multiple services. The market runs on Wednesday evenings from June through August. In October, the city’s HarvestFest brings in over 100 vendors to celebrate fall and Halloween. WinterFest gets the community in the holiday spirit with carols, local bands, and food vendors, and the evening winds down with a tree-lighting ceremony.

50 clubs and sports teams at Lake Stevens High
Students are assigned to the Lake Stevens School District, an A-minus district by Niche. They are split between two elementary schools: Highland Elementary and Mount Pilchuck Elementary. Both schools earn B-plus grades from Niche. North Lake Middle, another B-plus school, teaches sixth and seventh-grade students. Cavelero Mid High, a B-rated school, is for eighth and ninth-grade students. Lake Stevens High has an A-minus grade. The school has nearly 50 clubs and athletic teams.

Reach the rest of Snohomish County through Highway 9
People will need their car to travel around the city. Highway 9 travels down to Snohomish and Arlington. Interstate 5 is just 8 miles east, where commuters can reach Everett and Seattle in less than 40 miles. “We have a large population that works at Boeing,” Thurston says. Lake Stevens is also around 30 miles from other major tech companies. “Some people may work in Redmond, which has many tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon,” she adds. Paine Field Airport in Everett flies to seven West Coast cities, including Los Angeles and Phoenix.
