Snohomish Real Estate
Snohomish, Washington, is a city in Snohomish County. The population was 8,970 in 2007. The town of Snohomish prides itself for its historical downtown feel, and is known for its many antique shops. Many homes throughout the town are considered historical; each bears a plaque with the year it was built and the family that originally occupied it. Once every year, the town gives tours of these houses to those who are interested. Snohomish bills itself as the "Antique Capital of the Northwest." A general aviation airfield, Harvey Airfield, is less than one mile southwest of Snohomish.
Today, Snohomish is very much a model of how cities can reinvigorate their business districts by preserving their historic charm. The town has continued to grow with much of the development spread out along the former route of Route 2, now known as Bickford Avenue. The city has become a good combination of regular businesses in modern facilities which serve the community and specialty shops in the historic part of town to serve the tourist trade. While suburbs have spawned around the town, the historic part of town is still that and is replete with wonderfully maintained examples of Victorian era homes, some of which are also open to visitors.
