Things to Do in Snohomish County During Autumn

Autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons in Snohomish County! The leaves change colors and the weather changes. It is a warm and cozy feel during autumn in the Pacific North West. The first day of Autumn is Wednesday, September 23 2015. There are so many things to do during autumn in Washington State from pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted houses, beautiful autumn drives with leaves everywhere, Everett Silvertips hockey games, and so much more! The Diemert Properties Group put together a list of what we think are the BEST things to do in Snohomish County during autumn season. Feel free to give us your thoughts and ideas! Don’t forget that your clocks fall back an hour on Sunday, November 1 at 2:00 AM.

1. Go to a local pumpkin patch.

Many pumpkin patches have corn mazes, haunted houses, food, kids activities, hay rides and more! This is a must for the autumn season! Just make sure to go prepared for some mud and rain! Rain boots and rain jackets are a must. After a fun day at the pumpkin patch it is always fun to go home and decorate or carve your pumpkins. You will want to take out all the pumpkin goo so that you have a hollow pumpkin to carve. Below are some of the best pumpkin patches in Snohomish County, WA.

• The Farm at Swans Trail in Snohomish, WA – The Farm in Snohomish has been the Diemert Properties choice for years! There is so much to do there.
