Fall Comes to Seattle NorthCountry
Summer’s great. Summer’s good. But, yeah — how about bonfires, harvest moons, crunchy leaves, and pumpkins? What about sipping cider, casting spells, and conjuring ghouls? Because that time is here.
Autumn in our neck of the woods means a family-friendly jaunt to the farmlands of the Snohomish River Valley, a crisp hike in the mountains or a solid urban leaf stroll with steaming coffee in hand. Pick out a gourd, snag the perfect sunflower selfie, take a hay ride, or (if you dare) you can wander into a haunted corn maze.
And with direct flights to Seattle Paine Field International Airport, in Everett, Washington, there's never been a better time to visit Snohomish County.
C'MON SWEATER WEATHER
Here are our picks for a fall that is crisp, tasty (think kettle corn and cider), and definitely worth a trip to the #TruePNW.
Flannel not required.

A Winter Ski Weekend- PNW Style
Deep in the Cascade Mountains, at the eastern border of Snohomish County, is a skiing and riding Mecca, Stevens Pass.
Stevens Pass joined the EPIC Pass group of resorts in 2018 and offers deep and consistent snow, steep terrain, loads of steady, long groomers, and a bounty of backcountry access for the prepared skier and rider. Plus a unique mountain culture that is evident from the valley's beginnings near the shores of Puget Sound, through the towns of Highway. Expect luxurious lodging, fresh tracks, food trucks, killer coffee, craft beer, and Bigfoot (you can't miss him).
If you're new to the EPIC Pass, or have simply overlooked Stevens in the past, this is your invitation to some of the most under-rated terrain, and local ski hill vibe anywhere.
