Located just east of Mill Creek, Silver Firs is a bedroom community known for its strong schools and easy commuting to Seattle. Mostly residential with a fair bit of forest winding behind houses, it offers modern homes set against the towering firs that give it its name. “It’s a really charming planned community at the north end of the Seattle suburbs, right where the houses end and the farms start,” says Janet Spesock, managing broker at KW North Sound, who has worked in the area for over 8 years. “It’s got some nice woods, a lot of little parks, and it’s a short drive to shopping areas in Mill Creek and Snohomish.”

Modern Craftsman homes among the trees
Silver Firs is mostly made up of modern residential housing developments built in the last 20 to 30 years. Craftsman homes are common, as are wooded yards that back up into local forests. A few late-midcentury, ranch-style homes and split-levels can be found in the neighborhoods along Cathcart Way, Silver Firs’ major thoroughfare. Modern townhouses can also be found in the central and western parts of the community. The median price for a single-family home in Silver Firs is a little over $1 million, while the median price for a townhouse is similar. As an unincorporated community, Silver Firs is overseen by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, which does not publish crime statistics for individual communities.
