A Local Girl's Guide to Antique, Boutique, and Unique Snohomish.
CATCH SOME AIR: Fly into Harvey Airfield because let's face it, it's way cooler than arriving by car. Drop-in, ahem, literally...via parachute: Skydiving is what Snohomish farmers do after the cows come home. Moo-YaHoo! And, colorful hot air balloons keep the rainbows out when the sky is blue. WANNA KEEP YOUR HEAD OUTTA THE CLOUDS? Walk or bike your way into Snohomish along the riverfront Centennial Trail (maybe you'll bump into Lance Armstrong). FARM FRESH FABULOUS-NESS: Craven Farms is our vote for the best pumpkin patch (although we acknowledge the competition is fierce). Certainly a Farmers Market isn't truly a Farmers Market unless there is a farm out back. Stocker Farms is the place we buy our fresh veggies. Break out your straw sun hat and head for Biringer Farm. These are the seriously de-lish strawberries that comprise the WORLD FAMOUS Biringer Farm Strawberry Shortcake. Think you can navigate a corn maze? This one is a scale map of the whole state of Washington. Dude...bring your compass and dress accordingly...this isn't your average jaunt through the fields. The Farm. WORLD-RENOWNED WINE: One of Snohomish's hidden gems, Quilceda Creek Vintners. Recipient of not one but TWO consecutive "100" ratings from the Wine Advocate. Only 15 American wineries have ever achieved this coveted honor. Congratulations! SPA , MASSAGE & YOGA: BeeHive Day Spa World-class, riverside, plush, fresh and immensely welcoming - the folks at BeeHive - we love 'em! Massage Warehouse, ahhhhhh. Yoga Circle Studio, Ohmmmmmm. THIS TOWN IS SO CUTE YOU COULD EAT IT UP. GO AHEAD: A few of our favorite hang-outs are the Snohomish Bakery, Snohomish Pie Company, Wired and Unplugged (I have cravings for the Olive Lovers Panini frequently. Internet café, open mic, and more), The Oxford (did I mention it's haunted?), Fred's Rivertown Alehouse (Mmmm, Burgers!) and The Speakeasy among others. Want it to go? Dream Dinners was hatched here. Check out their headquarters on First Street in the Historic District. THE ART DISTRICT: THE HISTORIC DISTRICT: |
