Monroe

Home of the Evergreen State Fairgrounds that features events all year round and the Evergreen Speedway with NASCAR racing! Monroe can also boast of one of the largest fall Vaux Swift migrations in the world. Check out the Lewis Street Park and adjacent Al Borlin Park for a refreshing trail along the Skykomish River. Nearby, the City of Snohomish Historic District is known as the Antique Capital of the Pacific Northwest. Both cities have fabulous Farmers Markets in season. From Snohomish, you can travel on the 30-mile paved hiking and biking trail to the Skagit Valley. Twelve trailheads will get you headed on your way!
