Evergreen State Fair is the hot ticket as 11-day run kicks off
MONROE — Bleats of goats, shrieks from carnival rides and the sweet aroma of fried dough filled the air Thursday at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds.
Thursday marked the opening of Snohomish County’s 11-day fair. As many as 350,000 people are expected to attend this year, which will be at full capacity for the first time since 2019.
Crowds were steady. Guests turned to misting tents, ice cream or lemonade as temperatures reached the lower 90s. The heat should start to wane a bit Friday and into next week, according to the National Weather Service.
One returning exhibit drew a crowd: In the swine barn, kids and adults gathered to see Betty, a 3-year-old 600-pound sow, and her newborn piglets. By Thursday afternoon, Betty’s five piglets were barely a day old — born at precisely 1:07 p.m. Wednesday. It’s her second litter but first appearance at the Evergreen State Fair.
