Cathcart: “A little bit of country”
Bordering the tranquil banks of the Snohomish River, Cathcart is a primarily rural, residential community halfway between Historic Downtown Snohomish and Woodinville. “Two of the biggest draws to that area are the excellent school district and the space,” says Kyle Wells, a Realtor with Windermere Realty who specializes in Snohomish County. “You get a little bit of country while still being close to the cities.”
Large, private lots
There are plenty of opportunities to spread out in Cathcart, with most houses sitting on at least a half-acre of land. These expansive lots, shielded by tall evergreens, provide homeowners with a sense of peace and privacy. Typical area homes include ranches, split-levels and larger Modern Traditional homes built in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Home prices start out at $500,000 for 1,000 sg. ft. floor plans and fixer-upper properties. Most homes sit within the $700,000 to $1 million range. Contemporary custom homes on several acres get above $1 million. These homes sit back on private roads and offer mountain views and luxury amenities like pools and saunas.

Nearby small-town events
“People move out to Cathcart to be away from the city,” Wells explains. “There’s not really a ton of there in terms of big entertainment.” However, local parks and nearby towns do offer smaller community-focused events. Willis D. Tucker Community Park is just northwest of Cathcart and is popular in the summer for the splash pad, farmers market and outdoor movies. Locals let their dogs play off-leash in the dog park, and kids enjoy the sand pit and playground. For good country fun, the Evergreen Fairgrounds, 10 miles away, hosts a State Fair in August, as well as horse shows and races on the Evergreen Speedway. And the small towns of Historic Downtown Snohomish and Woodinville offer local festivals and holiday celebrations.
Traveling out of Cathcart
The regional Paine Field Airport is 10 miles away, and Everett is 13 miles away. Everett is home to a large shopping mall and a variety of eateries and nightlife opportunities. Those headed into Bellevue, 20 miles away, hop on Interstate 405 to drive 20 or 30 minutes into the city.
