About Lake Stevens, WA

Lake Stevens is a city in Snohomish County in Washington State. It’s one of the fastest-growing cities in the county, having gained popularity recently as a suburban paradise teeming, with nature, wildlife, and recreational activities that center on its namesake. More and more, the city is becoming a residential hub for younger families who work in nearby areas like Lynnwood and Everett but want the quiet that suburban living has to offer. With a population of 33,378 and only nine constituent neighborhoods, Lake Stevens stands as the 39th largest community in Washington State.

Fun Fact #1: Suburban Lake Stevens started as a resort town in the 50s.

Roughly 36 miles away from Seattle sits the lovely city, blessed with beautiful weather year-round and a breathtaking view of the snowcapped Cascades to the southeast. Lush forests set the character of this nature-rich community. For many, Lake Stevens is a sanctuary where people who want to get away from the stress of city living can be in touch with nature. Part of the charm, of course, is the city’s proximity to recreational spaces like Lynnwood’s Alderwood Mall just 20 miles away, as well as to major employers like Boeing and Naval Station Everett, making it a prime choice for commuters who work in these industries. Lake Stevens’ school district is also one of the best in all of Washington State, giving up-and-coming families one more reason to reside in the serene city.

Fun Fact #2: Lake Stevens only gets 44 inches of rain and 4 inches of snow a year. Weather-wise, summer highs cap at 80° around August, making it perfect for sunbirds who don’t like being snowed-in.

Lake Stevens boasts of some of the best natural features that the Pacific Northwest has to offer, which have in turn, become the setting of the city’s local recreational activities and spaces. A prime example would be North Cove Park right beside the lake, a popular lunch grounds that friends and families often frequent to enjoy a view of the peaceful waters, where the sight of local anglers fishing up a storm is fairly common. The city has a prominent angling culture to match the availability of fishing all year. Around springtime, the city holds the Lake Stevens Kokanee Derby when this breed of fish is the fattest and most abundant. You’ll see water sports pick up around summer: people enjoying a refreshing dip on one of the many docks that line the lake shore and renting out kayaks more regularly and taking them out to the middle of the lake.

Fun Fact #3: The downtown area on Main Street isn’t as big as in other cities, but it has all the necessary amenities like restaurants, stores, and even a boat launch. You’ll also find City Hall and the local library here.

And who could forget the annual Aquafest celebration – a 3-day community-sponsored party complete with a parade, rides, pet shows, and even an occasional pizza-eating contest? There are other things to do, of course, besides just going out on the lake. For example, in the fall, families visit rural Snohomish and go to local apple orchards like Skipley Farm to pick apples and enjoy other attractions and farm activities for fun. Afterward, they head to local-favorite restaurants like Conto’s Pizza & Pasta for some family-sized gourmet pizza. If you plan to just have a nice day out on a picnic on Lundeen Park, however, don’t forget to grab all the supplies you need at nearby Tom Thumb grocery.

Fun Fact #4: If you’re looking to work some calories off, you can always join the bikers and joggers who regularly make their rounds on Centennial Trail, a 30-mile trail that connects the downtown area to the neighboring cities of Snohomish and Arlington.

As far as demographics go, the city is home to relatively affluent, well-educated young families with a median household income of $88,594. Lake Stevens currently has many older homes built from 1970 to 1999 (48.5%). Still, newer ones (2000 and older at 37.9%) are getting built each year at an increasing rate in response to the influx of new people drawn by what the city offers. Homes are typically 3 to 4-bedroom detached single-families priced on average from $263,000 to $527,000, whereas the average market rent costs $2,647 per month.
