An awesome place to visit for children and parents. We had a blast, visiting from Vancouver BC,we always drove by, finally stopped and stayed,and will do it again. Great place especially for younger kids, but our 8 and 11 year old, had so much fun,(parents as well) especially in the restaurant. Staff inside was awesome however the entry was quite interesting. Make the long story short, arriving at 11:30 am (place opens at 10 am)on Thursday paying and at the cashier for two adults and two kids, bill is $42.80. I hand over a 100 dollar bill and the person casually informs me that she doesn't have change for 100 dollar bill. So I say ok, well since you don't have change maybe I can leave my ID and come back later to settle the bill?? She says ok , ya you can come back later. So I pull out my ID and say OK we go inside and I will come in couple hours to pay for the admission. She says, OH you cannot go inside without paying!!! I say I am trying to pay and I have money but you say you have no change. I asked to speak to a manager. She goes and talks to a manager, who did not even have a face to come out of her little office, but sent a message that here is no money downstairs and also I was told that they start their float with $20 in the till. Yes people appearantly place this big starts with 20 dollar float.!!! Anyways, we collected some small bills and change and charged the rest to a credit card, which was exactly what I did not want to do because of the exchange, but anyways, no help from the front desk, or management. Very poor, in normal situation I would just turn and walk away, but since you have kids and that is what you came here for I could not. And they obviously know that!!! So make sure even you come with money have small bills!!! Have fun, the place is awesome, kids love the music show in log cabin!!!!

Right on the Mukilteo Speedway at Paine Field is HFF. Experience these beautifully displayed and fully restored aircraft. All the planes (13) are airworthy and fly on a regular basis. Take a tour with one of the informative docents and experience these rare birds up close and personal, including getting on board the DC-3 and B-25. This pristine collection features rare planes designed and/or built between 1927 and 1957, a historical sweet spot in the history of aviation development and innovation. The extremely rare P-51B Mustang flew three missions during D-Day and has seven confirmed kills from WWII. A great family outing if you have kids that get wide-eyed whenever they see a plane fly over. This collection is not to be missed!

When I feel like shopping for that vintage piece for my home, this is close and lovely.
Many shops to explore through out Snohomish's historic district down town. Shop till you drop, then stop at the Cabbage Patch restaurant for some lunch. O
They have wonderful lunches and soups.

World Class collection of WW2 aircraft. Most are maintained for flight and are flown by museum personnel. Museum docents/guides in many cases have flown the aircraft they are describing. Some of the aircraft are the only examples in the world still flying. The FW 190 with the original BMW engine is an example. Their collection of combat vehicles is no less interesting often including specific vehicle history.

I really enjoy biking on the Centennial Trail. I like to park just north of Snohomish, so that I'm not interfering with the walkers nearer to town. I enjoy visiting this friendly town, afterwards.

Amazed by the high quality and variety of art by local and regional artists. From old rusted saws and shovels turned into yard art, to pottery, paintings, photography, handcrafted jewelry, hand-blown glass, and miniature creations, art lovers won't be disappointed.
Visited the Schack for the first time with 3 teenage granddaughters & 81 year-old mother. All enjoyed touring the gallery, and watching artisans form their creations in the fire ovens.
Street parking is free. Entrance to the Center is free, though there is a donation box near the door.

When my kids were kids this was our favorite place to come for Halloween. They have a BIG corn maze and a smaller one in a barn with hay bales and a slide. A bakery, petting farm, gift store, fishing hole and lots of pumpkin to select from. You can also buy corn stalks and fresh apples!

My family (of 3) drove over to Monroe, WA from Enumclaw, WA to enjoy and watch a wakeboarding competition on July 9th. I couldn't tell you the last time I went to Monroe, if ever! Now I am a little disappointed I couldn't have enjoyed the drive more, this park is a great little area. The water where the competition was looked clean and the roads to park and walk were clean and picked up from litter.
The day trip itself was a wonderful one, the town and the area made it so much better. I felt my vehicle was safe at all times as there were cops patrolling the area in cruisers as well as walking around.
All in all, great area and I will be back for the next competition!

You need to check this place out. It is a small locally owned distillery; distilleries like this are up and coming just like the microbreweries of the last decade. You've got to check this place out - it was a fantastic place to visit full of simple charm, friendly service and fantastic bourbon and liquors. Everything they sell is made right there. The work room where all the drinks are made is completely visible to the tasting room and store (and not blocked with any glass - you're right there practically in the workroom). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The drinks they make are exceptional, especially the bourbon and rye whisky of which they had several. They also had white rye whisky which I had never heard of. Fun new experience and located in the historic district of Snohomish, WA.
10. Mountainview Blueberry Farm

Support your local farmer! This blueberry farm is located in the Snohomish Valley and prides itself in being one of the premier blueberry farms in the area. Get here early! Parking is limited and this site is incredibly popular.
For new berry pickers, the process is as follows: grab a bucket, go into the orchard and collect as many blueberries as you can. Current cost is right around two dollars, two dollars and a quarter per bucket. Get ready to get dirty...but in a fun and delicious way! These berries are ripe for picking, and there are a variety of sizes to choose from. And the best part is you can sneak a taste from time to time just to make sure you picked the best berry bush!
HINT: There were four in our party, and we picked nearly eight pounds of berries in a little over an hour.
HINT: Wear clothes you don't mind getting stained. Sometimes a berry gives up its juice right onto your shirt!
HINT: There is a hand washing station on site, so once you are done picking, you can wash the purple off your fingers!
HINT: Go early in the morning in order to avoid bees and other pickers. Parking is limited.
