Snohomish County, Administrative county in western Washington, United States.
Snohomish County is an administrative county in western Washington that stretches from the shores of Puget Sound eastward toward the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. The landscape combines harbor towns and industrial centers with forested hills, wide river valleys, and rural farmland.
The administrative unit formed in 1861 during the settlement of the Pacific Northwest and initially served logging and fishing communities. Later in the 19th century, harbor and industrial facilities developed and shaped the region's economic center.
Native American heritage mingles with modern developments through public art installations, museums, and community events celebrating local traditions.
Residents and visitors can access administrative services such as property tax information, building permits, and public records through the official website of the county government. Many offices and service centers are located in downtown Everett and open during standard business hours.
