As the oldest city in Snohomish County, the City of Snohomish Washington, on the banks of the Snohomish River, has a rich history and feel that is hard to beat.
Snohomish Washington was founded in 1859 and incorporated in 1889. Per the 2000 census the Snohomish population is 8,640. Snohomish was the original county seat for Snohomish County beginning in 1891. In 1895 the county seat was moved to Everett.
In 1973, the city adopted a Historic District Ordinance protecting historic buildings and structures from inappropriate alterations and demolitions, many of which date back to the 1880’s – and encouraging the design of new construction in keeping with the historic character of the district. In 1974, the Snohomish Historic Business District, a 36-block area, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
