Best Chowder in Snohomish County
Snohomish County is right next to Puget Sound, so you’d probably assume that we have good chowder, right? Right. Absolutely correct. When in the Greater Seattle Area you must try the seafood. It’s practically a moral imperative. Our best chowder spots are rounded up below for your sippin’ pleasure (careful, the bowl is hot!).
Get your pescatarian taste buds fired up. We’re going in.
Ivar’s Mukilteo
710 Front St, Mukilteo, WA 98275
You can do the walk-up window on the Mukilteo waterfront, or opt for the indoor dining experience, also on the waterfront. In either case, what makes Ivar’s chowder legendary among locals is their trademark sourdough bowl. Sup your chowder (may we recommend the salmon chowder?), then eat the bowl. Perfect.
Jetty Bar & Grille
1028 13th St, Everett, WA 98201
On the Everett waterfront is Hotel Indigo. Its in-house restaurant specializes in all things seafood, which is perfect because that also means chowder galore. Yum. Enjoy your meal in an environment featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Everett Marina and plenty of natural light.
Anthony’s Homeport Everett and Edmonds
1726 W Marine View Dr, Everett, WA 98201
456 Admiral Way, Edmonds, WA 98020
New England style chowder goes best with a waterfront view. If you’re looking for a classic PNW dining experience, this is a pretty cushy and scenic way to get your fix. This family-owned restaurant covers every detail of a dining experience; you’re guaranteed a view of the Salish Sea, quality food, and complimentary sourdough bread, which is no joke, ok? Get those carbs.
Salt & Iron
321 Main St, Edmonds, WA 98020
What goes into an artisan chowder to elevate it from the merely pedestrian to elite status? The ingredients, baby. Let’s take a look at what is stewing inside a Salt and Iron chowder: halibut, scallop, clams, salmon, octopus, creamy seafood broth, yukon potatoes, dill, chili flake, and grilled como.
Holy smokes! The whole is greater than the sum of its parts in this bowl of chowder.
Andy’s Fish House
1229 1st St, Snohomish, WA 98290
Chowderheads, rejoice! This little fish house features Andy’s Famous Chowder, made from scratch on site. That’s about as fresh as it gets. Which is probably why this small restaurant is always packed by locals and visitors alike.
