Historic Walking Tours

Snohomish has two nationally registered Historic Districts.  The residential district covers 5 square blocks and the commercial district includes the downtown shopping area.

Armed with a Historic Walking Tour Guide, you can stroll the residential streets of the Snohomish Historic Residential district. Along with viewing wonderfully restored home, many from the Victorian age, you will be treated to a wide variety of architectural styles, and beautiful old chestnut tree lined Avenues

Walking along First Street you are virtually taken back in time.  The Historic Business District Walking Tour Guide describes the origins of the building you see.  Although the fire of 1911 destroyed many commercial buildings, you can still find several that were built well before the turn of the 20th Century.  These stately and some shaky old relics have seen many entrepreneurs come and go.  Oh, what great stories they could tell.  From Grande Theatre, cigar makers to the only “floating” dance floor west of the Mississippi, these buildings are fascinating and memorable.
