Where Two Rivers Meet.

Since time immemorial a salmon-fishing domain of the Salish people, the Tualco Valley – “Tualco,”in the Lushootseed language of the Salish, meant “meeting place,” – was the home of the Snohomish, Skykomish, and Snoqualmie tribes until white settlers moved to the area, attracted by abundant forests and rich valley soil. Logging and farming drove the region’s growth. The settlers established a township along the riverbank; today we know it as Monroe.

A scenic 30-40-minute drive from Bellevue/Seattle wends you through the fertile Tualco Valley, where the Skykomish and Snoqualmie Rivers meet to form the Snohomish River, to this evocative 20-acre working landscape. Rich alluvial soil and abundant sunshine and moisture provide ideal agricultural conditions; thoughtful zoning successfully discourages suburban sprawl so that small holdings can thrive.
