斯诺霍米什古董店

历史悠久的斯诺霍米什市中心

If you're looking for a great day trip from Seattle, head to Snohomish, a quaint city about 40 minutes north. There, you can easily spend hours antiquing, vintage shopping, popping in and out of cozy local eateries, and strolling along the Snohomish River.

With more than 175 antique dealers, Snohomish is arguably the Antique Capital of the Northwest. Many of the buildings are more than 150 years old, lending the city historic charm. You'll have no trouble entertaining yourself as you browse the vintage shops, antique stalls, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, and gift shops. It's the perfect day trip, no matter the season or weather.

In the Historic Downtown District of Snohomish, First Street is hub of a vintage and antique goods. If you're not sure where to start, head to the Visitor Center on 1st and Avenue D. There, the volunteer staff provides helpful information about the area, maps, and restaurant recommendations.

If you are looking for a large assortment of goods and multiple dealers, be sure to stop by Antique Station at Victoria Village and Star Center Mall. There are also plenty of sweet vintage shops, including Ruffles and Rust Square (pictured to the right), Sweet Bee, Faded Elegance, and Joy Works. There really is something for everyone, whether you're hunting for furniture, clothing, children's toys, used sports gear, tools, and more.

Where to Eat

For brunch or lunch, check out Cabbage Patch Restaurant. The interior is filled with Victorian decor so you can keep the vintage vibes going. If it's nice out, you can enjoy your meal on the patio.

For an afternoon snack, swing by Simply Sweet Cupcakes and try the Maple Bacon cupcake.

For a dinner, try Picadilly Circus, a delightful English-style pub where you can sit down to a pint, watch soccer on the TVs, and enjoy a quintessentially British meal of bangers and mash.

Note that most of the shops close by 5 p.m., so arrive early to avoid missing out on a new treasure.
