Discover Snohomish: Historic District and Trails along the Snohomish River

Snohomish combines trails along the Snohomish River with a remarkable history. Those looking for a vacation rental or vacation home for their stay can choose their accommodation based on their daily plans: Should the focus be on historical discoveries, longer routes, or a variety of leisure activities? Snohomish offers different ways to shape your plans accordingly.

River Trails and Longer Routes

The Riverfront Trail offers a clearly defined walk along the water. The paved trail is 0.3 miles long and runs along the north bank of the Snohomish River from Avenue D to Cady Park. Information panels and benches complement the trail. Cady Park covers 2.5 acres along the Snohomish River and provides direct access to the Riverfront Trail. This makes it possible to consider this section as a short route of its own when planning your day.

For a longer outing, the Centennial Trail begins in Snohomish. It runs for more than 30 miles to Skagit County north of Arlington. Those planning a more extensive route should take this distance into account from the outset. From First Street west of Avenue D, you can reach the Centennial Trail via the river trail. This allows you to factor the desired scope of your outing into your plans for your stay in Snohomish.

Discover Historic Snohomish

The Historic District is an area spanning 26 city blocks along the Snohomish River. It includes commercial and residential properties and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. For visitors interested in the development of a town, this area offers a historical focus distinct from the river trails and leisure activities.

At the Blackman House Museum, visitors can enter a house dating from Snohomish's founding era and see objects and stories that helped shape the town. The Blackman House is the only surviving house from an early cluster of Blackman family homes in Snohomish. In addition, SnohomishWalks offers guided historical walking tours through Snohomish in the state of Washington. This allows you to choose between exploring the Historic District on your own and taking a guided historical perspective.

Plan Varied Days

In addition to history and walks, there are other ways to plan your stay. Ferguson Park has a disc golf course. The Snohomish Aquatic Center includes a leisure pool, a zero-depth entry area, a FlowRider, a lazy river, and a water slide.

Practical Guidance for Finding Accommodation

In most areas of Historic Downtown Snohomish, free on-street parking is available without time limits. This specific aspect can be taken into account when arriving and taking trips within Historic Downtown. However, the more important question when choosing a vacation rental or vacation home is initially which of the activities mentioned should define your stay: historical walking tours, the short Riverfront Trail, a longer route on the Centennial Trail, or the Aquatic Center's offerings.

Other Places for Orientation

For further orientation, you can also explore Mill Creek, Monroe, Index, Arlington, Granite Falls, Everett, Marysville, and Maltby.
