Things To Do
Historic Downtown Snohomish
Beautiful and historic buildings line the riverfront in downtown Snohomish, with many charming antique shops, small storefronts, and local restaurants and cafes. Rebecca and Scott love to visit here on weekends for coffee and antiquing.
Snoqualmie Falls
This is a beautiful and popular waterfall about an hour south of our area. Easily accessible via a paved path at the upper viewpoint, or choose to hike 1 mile or drive to the slightly more strenuous lower viewpoint. Parking is free, and other great hikes, attractions, and food are available in the nearby towns of Snoqualmie and Issaquah. This is an activity that is great for all ability levels. Rebecca and Scott have each visited the upper and lower viewpoints on crutches (on separate occasions).
Al Borlin Park Trail
Are you looking for a nice, easy forest walk? Al Borlin Park is a wonderful place to get a taste of the giant trees in Washington and is a favorite place for Rebecca and Scott to go for a nature walk in Monroe!
Wallace Falls State Park
Wallace Falls is one of Rebecca and Scott's favorite hikes in the area! Wallace Falls has great views of a waterfall and a great workout! They do require a Discover pass or pay a day pass fee at the parking lot.
Everett Marina
Want to visit a waterfront? The Everett Marina is a beautiful area to walk around and check out some cool boats. On occasion, Scott and Rebecca have seen seals in the water!
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls is a stunning waterfall that Scott and Rebecca frequently visit. If you are looking for a more strenuous hike, this one will give you a great workout!
Pie Dive Bar
Want a unique local restaurant to visit? One of Scott's and Rebecca's favorite places in downtown Snohomish is the Pie Dive Bar! Rebecca highly recommends the chicken pie, and Scott always gets the steak. If you're looking for a flavorful dessert, the banana bourbon is fantastic!
El Paraiso Mexican Grill Monroe
This is our favorite place to go for happy hour! We love their house margaritas, Scott enjoys the steak tacos, and Rebecca is a sucker for the fish tacos! If you are craving Mexican food, we highly suggest El Paraiso! Happy Hour every day from 3-6 and 9-close.
Centennial Trail Pilchuck Trailhead
If you're looking for a place for a nice paved trail, Scott and Rebecca love walking the Centennial Trail. They usually start with getting coffee in Snohomish, parking near the library, and then going for a nice hour-long stroll!
Snohomish Valley Golf Center
Rebecca and Scott enjoy visiting the Snohomish golf center for food, drinks, mini golf, and the driving range. The golf center rents golf clubs and offers inexpensive range buckets. Reservations are not required, although weekends tend to draw a large crowd
North Cascades National Park
North Cascades National Park is within easy day-trip distance of Snohomish. Many hikes of varying difficulty are available, or you can enjoy the beauty of the Cascade Mountains from the scenic North Cascades Highway. The highway is reliably open in June, but early-season conditions may be present. Rebecca and Scott loved the scenic drive and walking across the Diablo dam.
