THEN....Snohomish was founded in 1859 by E.C. Ferguson, who arrived looking to settle on the Military Road planned to connect between Fort Stelacoom and Fort Bellingham. Although the road was never completed, the City of Snohomish Became a busy logging, milling and farming community. Snohomish was the original county seat until it was moved to Everett in 1897.Snohomish is a great place to live!
