The Community

Sno-Isle Libraries serves a 2,260-square-mile area in northwestern Washington’s Snohomish and Island counties. These two beautiful counties are located north of Seattle. They stretch from Puget Sound on the west to the foothills of the Cascade Mountains on the east.

With a temperate climate and lush environment, this is a great place to visit and live. Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Whitehorse Glacier, the Ice Caves, the Centennial Biking Trail, and too many forest trails and streams to list beckon kayakers, hikers, skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

Sno-Isle Libraries serves nearly 750,000 residents, which makes it the second-largest population of any library
district in the state. More and more high-tech career and immigrant families are being drawn to the area.

Snohomish County is part of the greater Seattle metropolitan area and reflects a richly diverse urban, rural and multicultural suburban experience. The increasingly diverse communities served include the Tulalip Tribes of Washington and the Stillaguamish Tribe. More than 80 languages are spoken in some of the K-12 school districts within the area. The library district includes high technology, bio-tech and aviation industrial centers as well as suburban retail centers, performing arts centers, theaters, and museums, and excludes the cities of Everett, Bothell and Woodway.

Island County is comprised of Whidbey and Camano islands where residents and visitors enjoy a slower pace marked by lovely bays and beaches, woodland farms and pasturelands, historic towns, art galleries and smaller rural communities nestled beside the waters of the Puget Sound. 

Ferry and rural highway connections to the mainland make transportation easy, especially for those assigned to the U.S. Naval Air Station at Oak Harbor.

Higher education opportunities within the library district include Washington State University- Everett, University of Washington Bothell, Central Washington University-Lynnwood, Edmonds Community College, Everett Community College and Skagit Valley College-Oak Harbor.
