A small, historic riverside city southeast of Everett
Snohomish, a small city in a county by the same name, was incorporated in 1890. It has a population of about 10,200 and is known for its historic downtown beside the Snohomish River. The name Snohomish comes from an indigenous tribe of Southern Coast Salish peoples.
Snohomish has an agricultural legacy; its surroundings are rural, with farms and open spaces. Everett, a city on the Puget Sound about 9 miles to the northwest, is a big commuter location with The Boeing Company, Providence Regional Medical Center and the Naval Station Everett. For commuters to Seattle, the trip is about 32 miles southwest.
Snohomish has seen recent growth as more move to the area to take advantage of its convenient commutes and combination of city and rural amenities. "As opposed to the typical urban sprawl, Snohomish is laden with yuppie services, antiques, bike paths and upgraded delicatessens and restaurants," says Skip Bates, a broker with New Horizons Realty.

A historic district downtown, chain stores to the northwest
Over the decades, redevelopment has brought upgrades to the city, including improvements to the downtown area, which now draws tourists in addition to locals. The Snohomish Historic District downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This commercial and residential area is known for its riverside setting. There's a riverfront trail, boutiques, antique stores and a variety of restaurants. " It's quiet and easygoing and kind of feels like the '50s and '60s. Everything is family owned, there aren't big chain businesses there," says Neil Northrop, an Everett native.
The northwest part of the city is a place to go for well-known brands. Everett Mall, about 9 miles away, is a retail destination with over 100 stores.
The Repp in Snohomish offers craft cocktails, live music, and more.
