Snohomish County realtors will open the door for you to one of Washington state's most beautiful stretches of landscape. About 68 percent of it is forested, 19 percent rural, and five percent agricultural. Only 8 percent is urban, but the county is one of the fastest growing in the state. Nonetheless, its population of approximately 630,000 is still notably lower than neighboring King County's 1.8 million, and the two are approximately the same size. Where in King County there are an average of 817 people per square mile, in Snohomish County there are only 290.

Looking for real estate in Snohomish, then, means looking along the Interstate 5 and Highway 9 corridor to the west. Highway 2 runs west to east and is dotted by a number of towns and small cities that are also candidates. It's a beautiful stretch of land, encompassing 2,089 square miles above King County and below Skagit.
