Snohomish County presents plans for Food and Farming Center
EVERETT — Snohomish County hosted its first open house session on Thursday for the public to learn about and provide feedback on the county’s planned Food and Farming Center in McCollum Park.
The center, which the county hopes to start constructing at the end of 2026, will be a centralized hub for Snohomish, Whatcom, Skagit and King counties’ farmers to process, aggregate, distribute and sell products.
The facility will include a production area for washing, freezing, cutting or otherwise processing food, as well as a warehouse for storing products. Office spaces and a commercial kitchen will reside behind an indoor farmers market, providing agriculturists with a way to sell year-round.
Snohomish County Agricultural Coordinator Linda Neunzig and Park Planning Supervisor Rachel Dotson gave a presentation to community members on Thursday at the Northwest Stream Center, explaining the motivation behind the $60 million project and laying out details of the multifaceted planned space.
