About Snohomish
Snohomish is a city of 10,126 (2020 Census) on the Snohomish River, one of the oldest settlements in the county with a 26-block National Register Historic District along First Street (per Wikipedia, read September 24, 2026). Antique shops, Victorian and craftsman homes, and riverfront parks define the character; Lord Hill Regional Park's 1,463-acre forest sits at the eastern edge. The Snohomish School District's A- rating is a major draw — families priced out of Mill Creek or Lake Stevens land here. Boeing's Everett factory is the dominant commuter anchor, about 20 minutes west. Prices run above Everett and Monroe for the historic-district premium.
