For the youngest learners, the preschool Clearview Montessori is a private option near many homes in the area.Nearby small-town events
“People move out to Cathcart to be away from the city,” Wells explains. “There’s not really a ton of there in terms of big entertainment.” However, local parks and nearby towns do offer smaller community-focused events. Willis D. Tucker Community Park is just northwest of Cathcart and is popular in the summer for the splash pad, farmers market and outdoor movies. Locals let their dogs play off-leash in the dog park, and kids enjoy the sand pit and playground. For good country fun, the Evergreen Fairgrounds, 10 miles away, hosts a State Fair in August, as well as horse shows and races on the Evergreen Speedway. And the small towns of Historic Downtown Snohomish and Woodinville offer local festivals and holiday celebrations.Traveling out of Cathcart
The regional Paine Field Airport is 10 miles away, and Everett is 13 miles away. Everett is home to a large shopping mall and a variety of eateries and nightlife opportunities. Those headed into Bellevue, 20 miles away, hop on Interstate 405 to drive 20 or 30 minutes into the city. Anyone commuting to Seattle is typically looking at a 45-minute drive and will tend to hit traffic on the way during rush hour.From home-style barbecue to Woodinville wineries
In between feed stores and landscaping suppliers, small eateries sit just off Woodinville Snohomish Road. Taqueria El Pollo Loco is known for authentic Mexican food, and Larry’s Smokehouse specializes in brisket and smoked salmon. And Cathcart’s shopping center, Clearview Plaza, is also home to familiar retailers Safeway and Starbucks. Part of greater Western Washington’s wine hub, Cathcart is just 8 miles away from Woodinville, known for its tasting rooms and scenic wineries. Woodinville also has big-name retailers like Target, Costco, and AMC Theaters.
