2020 Census: Snohomish County grows by more than 114,000
EVERETT — In the past decade, Snohomish County’s population growth narrowly outpaced Washington as a whole.
From 2010 to 2020, the county gained 114,000 residents— a 16.1% increase — according to recently released U.S. Census data.
During that span, the state population grew by 14.6%.
Across Snohomish County, Lake Stevens, Stanwood, Granite Falls and Marysville saw the biggest bumps in population, the data show.
Marysville gained more than 10,000 new residents in the decade — the most of any Snohomish County city.
High housing prices in other areas of the region are what’s bringing people to town, city spokesperson Connie Mennie said.
