Moving into the small town of Snohomish seemed boring at first. Surrounded by antique shops and farms made me miss the big city. However, I grew to love the small town for all its little quirks. Haunted corn mazes are only 5 minutes away, and there are so many places to pick your own vegetables! Although Snohomish could improve by providing shoulders on their more dangerous roads, I would change a thing about the farms or old-fashioned style of downtown Snohomish.
Snohomish is a beautiful place to live. This small town has a very cute downtown area filled with small shops, restaurants and walking trails that follow the Snohomish River! Snohomish is relatively safe, has lots of farmland and a wonderful library and aquatic center! Snohomish is also home to Harvey Airfield, where you can try skydiving, take a sunset hot-balloon ride, or attend the annual summer Kla Ha Ya Days fair! Just across the highway from Harvey Field, is Stocker Farms, where they have an annual spooky corn-maze. Snohomish is a great place to live, close to the big city, but just far enough way to be nice a quiet!
My experience in Snohomish County has been pleasant overall. Having lived in this county for most of my life, I have had the joy of being involved in many aspects of the community. The most attractive elements of the area include many scenic areas with opportunities for hiking, biking, and simply enjoying nature, many historic areas with dedicated supporters, and a quite serviceable school system. It is a very family-friendly area in most places. However, there are a few downsides. Traffic can be quite slow and many areas of the county are not well maintained. The county does a fairly good job in responding to suggestions and many problems are addressed in efficient time. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly say that I enjoy living in this county and believe it deserves a “Very Good” rating.
