Snohomish Station is Coming to Life
March 2008
The center is anchored by Fred Meyer, Kohl’s and Home Depot and includes nearly 448,000 square feet of retail space along the east side of Bickford Avenue in northwest Snohomish. Snohomish Station is becoming a positive addition to this unique area. Fred Meyer Stores celebrated their grand opening on March 5th; Kohl's will celebrate their grand opening on April 6 and Home Depot will celebrate their grand opening on May 7. Snohomish Station, being developed by Bellevue-based Wakefield Properties, is one of the single-largest projects in the history of the City of Snohomish. In addition to providing three new "big-box" retail stores for residents in the Snohomish / east Everett market area, smaller retail spaces have been constructed in a lifestyle village area at the center of the development and these will be leased out to retail shops, restaurants and  personal service tenants including Famous Footwear, Starbucks Coffee, Great Clips, Desert Sun, Robecks, and Bridges Pets.
