Snohomish County, Administrative county in western Washington, United States.
Description

History
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.
