Pumpkin Patches in Snohomish - Corn Mazes, Hayrides, & Other Fall Festivities

October is here and it’s time for pumpkin EVERYTHING. Pie, spice, lattes… But my favorite pumpkin of all? The porch pumpkin.

Pumpkin Patches - U-pick, Hayrides, Corn Mazes, and More!


October is here and it’s time for pumpkin EVERYTHING. Pie, spice, lattes… But my favorite pumpkin of all? The porch pumpkin. I try to go to a new pumpkin patch when I can, but it's hard not to have a few favorites. Each farm has a unique appeal. Some are more low key. Some have lots of activities. Some have a huge variety of pumpkins. Whatever your preference, there’s a pumpkin patch for you.

Bob’s Corn

First of all, they have an entire date dedicated to our Fall loving doggies. Pooches in the Patch. October 27th, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. This is where you can bring your dog with you to the pumpkin patch! How fun is that?

They have so many activities like apple cannons, a hayride to Minionville (I’ve personally done this and it’s a blast), apple slingers, face painting, 15-acre corn maze (I might have gotten lost in this one), kids adventure maze, farm animals, mini gold, photo ops, human foosball, rubber duck races, I-spy mini barn, make your own scarecrow, harvest market, gift shop, play yard, picnic tables, and more! My fingers are tired from typing all of that.

This is one of my families personal favorites. Maybe we’ll see you there?

3. Immune-boosting benefits. 

4. Soothe a sore throat

5. It tastes AMAZING!

I try to shop local whenever I can. SnohoBeeCo makes that super easy. They’re over on Maple in between the Aquatic Center and the library. The building is easy to miss though. My guess is you’ve probably driven past it before and never even noticed it was there.

Don’t let the outside fool you. This shop is adorable. Hex shelves line the walls displaying beeswax candles and every size imaginable of honey jars. (pssstt my favorite flavor is the blueberry honey)

They are super friendly and helpful. If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about anything to do with bees (honey bees or mason bees), honey, candle making, etc., you should check out their classes.

 
 

Highlights of Snohomish bee company

✅ Excellent source of local raw honey

✅ Fair prices (I didn’t feel like I was paying the small business price for high quality honey)

✅ Friendly service

I think their mission statement says it all…

To provide high-quality beekeeping supplies, bees, beeswax and of course fresh, local raw honey to those passionate about bees.

Dairyland Christmas Trees

There are so many Christmas Tree options around here. Here’s a peak at one of them.

Dairyland Christmas Tree Farm

Not U-Cut, but just as fun!

 

There are so many Christmas Tree options around here. Here’s a peak at one of them.

  • Free hot chocolate, coffee, and cider!

  • Huge gift shop with tons of quality and local made gifts.

  • Free craft projects for the kids. My kids made candy cane ornaments and wrote letters to Santa.

  • Warm firepit outside and a warm wood stove inside.

  • Photo’s with Santa. He was legit! I swear it was the real guy.

  • Haywire Brewing is right there. Grab a drink while you shop for your tree! Then sit down and eat some good food while they load the tree onto your car.

  • Trees are pre-cut, which was a bit of a bummer for me because the cutting of the tree is kind of a tradition, but we got over it fast when we found our perfect tree.

  • Competitively priced and totally gorgeous and fresh trees. Mine lasted 4 weeks and still looked freshly cut after new years!

 
Add a bit of soda or syrup (I use vanilla syrup that I put in my coffee) to your tree water once a week to keep your tree looking fresh for longer!

Planes, eggs, and cheerleaders. Oh my!

The town was originally called Cadyville.

Fun fact: Mary Low Sinclair, arrived in Cadyville on May 1, 1865, became Cadyville’s first permanent white female resident. She is considered to be the founder of education in Snohomish by opening her home as the first classroom. She lived on Pearl Street.

Old Ferg, the founder of Snohomish, had a daughter with an Indian woman, but married someone else.

Ferg lived with an Indian woman who soon gave birth to a girl. While in Olympia, he met Lucetta Morgan and they married in 1868. Ferguson rejected his common-law wife and child but continued to give them some support.

Actors in the worst play to hit the Snohomish stage were forced to escape out the windows when the audience starting to throw eggs at them.

"The Times Special Service. Snohomish, Friday, March 26, 1909 — The Three of a Kind Company, a decidedly barn-storming aggregation, reached a dramatic climax at the Alcazar Theatre last evening when the audience rose en masse during the first act and threatened to present the play actors with a choice selection of eggs as a mark of their lack of appreciation.

"The stage manager promptly dropped the curtain to prevent any further demonstration. The audience waited a few minutes and as there were no further indications that the play would be resumed, a few bolder spirits went behind the scenes. They did so just in time to see the members of the company — four young women and several men — making frantic exits from handy windows.”

It cost approximately $700,000 to demolish the Hal Moe pool.

Real Estate Excise Tax funds of $700,000 were used to remove the building, fill the existing pools, and hydroseed the ground.

The first airplane to carry mail took off from Harvey Field.

Noble Harvey established a family-owned airfield in 1945, which the family still operates as Harvey Airfield.  In 1911, Nobel purchased the first automobile in the county, the same year he hosted the first airplane flight. Fred J. Wiseman’s flight in Snohomish was cut short by rain-soaked, fabric-covered wings and it ended in a muddy but safe nose-dive after reaching only 60 feet in altitude. The amazing machine was repaired, continued to break records, and is currently hanging in the Smithsonian Postal Museum as the first plane to carry the mail.

The Town Clock has a typo.

The town clock commemorates the incorporating of the City of Snohomish located at First Street and Avenue A.   Can you find the mistake?

 

Give up? Look at 11 o’clock… oh wait… it says 12 twice!

Putt-Putt. Who's There?

18 hole championship mini golf course? I accept the challenge.

Snohomish Valley Golf Center

Looking for a fun and relatively inexpensive place to take the family? Snohomish Valley Golf Center is it. Their Championship 18 hole mini golf course was super fun and super challenging. Don't ask me what my score was. Ok, it was 91. My 9 year old got a 94. But, we won't mention that part. 

We decided to go on a hot evening (aren't you loving these 88* days?). They have misters set up all around the course to cool off. They even have a mobile snack bar that comes to you right on the course. They know how to take care of their customers. The staff was friendly and helpful. 

 

Tips & Tricks

1. Bring water - The mist sprayers were amazing, but our thirst was not quenched by water osmosis.

2. Leave your purse in the car - I lugged that thing around the whole time.. why!?

3. Let your kids keep score too - They loved doing it and it gave me a break.

4. Expect it to take longer than you think - We are a family of 6 and it took us almost 2 hours to make it through all 18 holes.

 

Enjoy!

Kla Ha Ya Days

Come see what Kla Ha Ya Days has to offer.

Parade 2018

The Kla Ha Ya Days Festival (KHYDF) is a nonprofit organization that produces an annual local festival, to welcome people throughout Northwest Washington to celebrate the community's beauty, and goodwill of Snohomish. Proceeds from the KHYDF's activities support Snohomish-based community organizations with programs and services for youth and families.
 

 

What an awesome kick off to Kla Ha Ya Days. The parade was fantastically well run, and had a lot of fun entries.  (watch the video above)

I parked over on Maple and watched the tail end of it. I thought it was the perfect spot. Easy walk back to my car, although there were some REALLY close parking options as you got closer that were only $10. We were near a ton of great booths. I even won a free Microdermabrasion from a raffle entry from Mary Kay! Saaweeet! 

Looking forward to going next year and trying out the carnival.
