Snohomish County

The third most populous county in Washington, bounded by Puget Sound to the west, the Cascade mountains to the east, King County (home to Seattle) to the south and Skagit county to the north, we offer a unique lifestyle. Mostly suburban communities, we maintain a close connection to Seattle, yet are distinctly different. Many people in the south end of the county commute into Seattle or the East Side. There are plenty of folks, though, who get to work here and live sans commute. 

Snohomish County's main communities consist of Everett (the larges city and county seat), Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Bothell and Woodinville to the south (Bothell and Woodinville actually are part of both King and Snohomish counties), Stanwood, Arlington and Marysville to the north and Granite Falls, Darrington, and the Highway 2 communities like Sultan and Index to the east. Oh, and there are plenty of other communities along the way. 

Though we share a lot of cultural commonalities with the Seattle area, there are very distinct sub-cultures within each community. And even adjoining communities (like Edmonds and Lynnwood) actually have some significant differences. I seek to understand them all.
