See Some Of The Top Gems Of Snohomish County On This Weekend Trip In Washington
Situated between the Sound and the mountains in the heart of aviation country, Snohomish County sits in a pretty unique spot. This 2,196-square-mile county is home to over 822,000 people, making it the third-most populous county in Washington.
There’s certainly something for everyone in Snohomish County, or Seattle NorthCountry, as it’s affectionately called. Should you find yourself with a weekend to spare, here are some of the many gems that are definitely worth checking out.
Funko’s 17,000 square-foot flagship store is located in Everett, and whether or not you're in the collectibles, it's worth checking out.
The walls are lined with all kinds of collectibles. If you've read about it or watched it, you'll probably find a Funko of it here.
Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. Between the beautiful patio, the elegant dining room and the adjacent wine shop, this place is as high class as it gets.
While you can't go wrong with the classic menu items like curry and Pad Thai, we highly recommend ordering something from the Chef's Specials section of the menu. The Bangkok Fried Chicken is out of this world.
The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and stocks the shelves with wines from around the world, from everyday vino to limited edition vino that costs more than a car payment. It's impressive, to say the least.
Tucked on the banks of the Port Gardner Bay, this charming hotel is a destination all on its own.
You'll certainly be ready for sweet slumber after a jog on the 3.5-mile trail that loops the neighborhood. There's also a fitness center near the lobby for those who prefer to stay indoors.
Hotel restaurants can sometimes be hit or miss, but not this one. If you enjoy fresh, perfectly prepared seafood, craft cocktails and decadent desserts, make sure you enjoy a meal here. While they offer plenty of indoor seating, there's nothing like the views and the ambiance on the deck.
Breakfast drinks include mimosas and the "Everett Mary," which is basically a Bloody Mary the size of your head (and loaded with garnishments).
Boeing has quite a history in Washington. And here, you'll learn that it also has an amazing future.
Come prepared to learn (and be blown away) as you discover the Legacy of Innovation and Above and Beyond exhibits. This includes a full-sized Destiny Module exhibit, a detailed mock-up of the primary research lab for U.S. payloads sent to the International Space Station that allows you a glimpse of life in space.
That's just one of many incredible exhibits you'll find here, not to mention the fantastic views from the Sky Deck.
Built in the 1950s, the park encompasses the lighthouse at the west end of the city and 12 acres south of it. It isn't uncommon to spot sea lions or even orcas from the shore.
But step inside this location in particular and you might learn a few things, both about the business and our local history.
The wall decor will tell you the tales of the missing carp, the 2003 storm that almost took the restaurant out, and so much more. You might also notice the happy, friendly employees. This is a company that cares and the president, Bob Donegan, sees to it that everyone is well taken care of.
Every location has a slightly different menu, so take a good look before you order. The Mukilteo Landing location has everything from
Grilled Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon to Cucina Fresca Butternut Squash Ravioli, with Whidbey Island Ice Cream Co. for dessert.
Snohomish County has a lot of gems, especially the Everett – Mukilteo area. Don’t pass up the chance to explore Seattle NorthCountry, a truly beautiful part of the PNW.
