Historic District

     Snohomish's Historic District comprises the original downtown retail core that runs along the Snohomish River.  The oldest buildings date from the 1880's and are generally 2-3 story with ground retail and upper story office with some residential apartments. The district is primarily zoned historic business (HB) and commercial (C).   

     Many of the buildings in the district have been preserved and used for antique stores, specialty retail, restaurants, coffee shops, furniture, jewelry and a variety of other destination retail uses. These businesses draw customers and visitors from throughout the region and world.  In recent years, the upper stories have been filled by office uses including design firms, software companies, and Internet related activities employing local residents.
