Enjoy a picnic as you soak in the spectacular view of the Port of Everett and Puget Sound at American Legion Memorial Park, which sits grandly on the bluff overlooking Port Gardner Bay. Soak up nature with a lovely tour of the Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens, which features 10 themed gardens, or relax with the park’s other offerings, including tennis courts, baseball fields, playground, and informative historical plaques. The deep blue of Lake Stevens offset by picturesque views of the Cascade Mountains makes this three-acre park a must-see in the middle of Snohomish County. Picnic or sunbathe on the soft green grass or sandy beach, swim in the refreshing water, fish from the dock, or cool off with wakeboarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, boating or water-skiing with a modern boat launch. Daily parking fees apply; day-use permits can be purchased at the park. Watch the sun slip behind the snow-capped Olympic Mountains from this gorgeous waterfront viewing area. Park your car in the plethora of free public parking spaces along this road, and then either sit back and relax on one of the many park benches, or wander along the walking path.

As the wind gently combs your hair, the salt air kisses your face, and the sounds of seabirds ring in your ears, you also will be delighted with prime wildlife viewing

from the deck of the Edmonds and Mukilteo ferries (including whales certain times of year!). Catch stunning views of Snohomish County’s shoreline, Washington’s pristine mountain ranges, and gorgeous islands in Puget Sound. Kingston and Clinton are quaint small towns and make perfect day trips for visitors overnighting in Snohomish County.
