10. Snohomish Studio Tour - Fall
See where the artistic magic happens at the Snohomish Studio Tour. You can literally walk into the creative spaces of Snohomish-based artists, see what they so, and support them directly by buying their art.

There’s also live music and snacks, which happen to perfectly compliment a day of aesthetic appreciation.
Artists are like gamified pocket monsters: you’ve gotta catch them all.

Michael Jackson Thriller, much?
