Community Services/Non-Profits near Snohomish, WA

“Christmas and the holidays are best with a Tim Noah Faces of Christmas show. The first one I remember going to was in 1983 at the Seattle Center, and more than four decades later his shows still have the same one-of-a-kind combination of magic, excitement, music and fun.

Just like the Wow Wow Wibble Woggle Wazzie Woodle Woo, the Faces of Christmas show keeps kids’ attention with a story interwoven with songs and theatrics. At times, members of the audience come on stage, or the performers go down into the audience – great fun to watch.

Tim’s original songs – Just Because, Hugs and Homemade Fun, Snow Snow Snow, and the many others – connect with kids and parents and grandparents in an engaging way. You’ll leave with those fun songs stuck in your head and all the joy of the Christmas spirit.

The Tim Noah Thumbnail Theater is definitely worth the drive to Snohomish. The cozy space is perfect for a close performance and creates a fun environment for kids who want to be part of the action. It’s a safe bet that you’ll enjoy any show there, whether it’s the Christmas show, another performance, or an open mic night.

“My son Ashton has been attending All Aboard for a year now. He loves it there. He has made numerous friends, and he feels like he is a part of something he cares about, and having something for him to be a part of has changed his whole outlook on life. He is definitely a happier adult with disabilities.
They have BINGO, karaoke, art, and crafts and social interactions that become very important as well as once a monthly dances held at Forrest Park.
I feel he is 100% safe as they have plenty of great supervision.
I enjoy volunteering here as well. It's truly a gift to myself every time I am surrounded by these wonderful souls.
Every one of them are precious!”

“I wish there had been more information for first time visitors about parking and entry particulars. Example, entry was staggered for VIP, Bronze, and general admission.”

“This nature walk is delightful.There are some shaded portions of their boardwalk that have gotten a bit funky with algae or something that can make it a bit slippery, and I suggest only going on dry days if you have any mobility impairments.Their artificial stream/fish viewing area is unfortunately skippable. Every time I’ve looked it’s been so dirty/murky there was nothing to see. I feel that it could be better maintained.Their hours are also a bit limited and I really wish they were open on Sundays as that is usually the day my family likes to go on nature walks.But I love the walk and I love supporting the foundation through membership and their cute little shop.”

“I volunteered at the shelter for nearly a decade cleaning cages and/or fostering until I moved away in Sept '23, and I can attest personally to the care, love, and attention given to these magical creatures. Ferrets are often overlooked in animal rescue, and this organization does so much for the pnw community. They are a no-kill shelter and have never, will never turn down a ferret in need. Hands-down my fav non-profit to support.”

“Cyndi has been an incredible teacher with a unique ability to provide skilled yoga that is specific and tailored to each student's needs. She has an incredible breadth of knowledge and passion for teaching. Her style teaches students to really understand their own mind-body experience. Beth R.”

“One of my sons and myself decided to check out this organization to get a little help with a bit of food it has changed since I was there maybe 20 years ago and they're still kind of like doing the covid thing where you come to the door and you're separated from the rest of the facility they do have lunch between 1:00 and 1:30 so take note of that it's not a long wait you know there's the yard you can sit in or what have you the only problem is is I have a disability with nerve damage so it's very very painful for me to stand in one spot for long periods of time I feel that maybe they're understaffed because my weight for maybe five people ahead of me was literally 2 hours long and God bless the people that work there and the ones that donate but hey if you ever feel like reaching out to a nonprofit organization or you need to help somebody I think it would be the perfect thing to ask them do you need help in the warehouse or do you need help you know serving clients or what have you my family is very grateful for the assistance that we did receive on a temporary time it worked out pretty well and my kids did receive a lot of nutritional good things that they would choose themselves now that was only a random day that was not one of their food boxes that they serve two times a month”

“My daughter was born with a rare genetic disorder that limits her mobility and speech. We were referred to Sherwood by our doctors and we are so glad we set up speech, OT , and PT here! The staff is wonderful to say the least. Every therapist genuinely cares for your child and helps supply your child with every thing they need to be successful! They make the transition from early intervention to pre school so easy and are the best advocates. Thank you so much to Jody, Sarah, Svetlana, and Kimberly for making therapy fun, stress free, and an overall great experience. Jillian and I will miss you!”

“Yo the last persona comment I am a 45 year old law abiding citizen single mom with a 9 year old and 12 year old daughter, a son who just graduated from a university in another state. I am homeless, I have lung tumors and poor health. These guys stepped up. What you said about them helping criminals and whoever else I can't speak to that. I can speak to who I am, and I am grateful. and I am not what you said.”

“Very good friendly staff. It is always a pleasure to visit and contribute my blood donation to help others. I'll continue to visit the Everett Oak St. location for all my furniture donations.”

“This was my first visit; it won't be my last. Here's why: Cleanliness was a 5. as was organization and quality of the goods. Prices were very good. They've got dressing room - big plus. Its only downside is that it's a smaller place so you're not going to have the variety you'll find at larger thrift stores.
That said, the warm and friendly way I was treated would have me going back anyway. I'm a sucker for good customer service but truth is, I almost didn't feel like a customer. It felt like I was visiting with some friends.”

“Truly amazing place! I wish I'd known about it a year ago when I first found myself on the streets with nobody to help me through the worst time in my life! I'm so thankful a new friend took me over there to meet everyone and show me how wonderful some people still are out here! They offered me food and clothes and help with finding a place to live a hot shower and a place to take a nap for a few hours and said I can wash my clothes there too! I will definitely be going back there soon! It's so nice to know there's a place like that when u feel like u have nobody and nothing in this world theres little light in your path to help u find your way.. God bless these women who are there for the less fortunate. Your truly Angels in my life!”

“Love this non profit. They have a great restaurant and resale furniture store on sight. Both are used in their training program, teaching people marketable job skills, including 4 weeks of soft skills training. Great staff who help students find jobs once they finish the program.”

“A great place to find those items..you might be looking for.. hardware, furniture, miscellaneous items.. always find something I need....Wonderful and friendly crew always welcomes you ...”

“Updated May '23: Still the best (and realistically, the only) place to go. Have always been thankful they are here. Just coming back into the "fold".Always 5+ stars!!!For those with HIV, the place to go. Carrie is the best Case Manager, but I AM biased.”

“Nick, the manager for the pool has really done a great job with the pool. Everyone who works under them seem happy and to really be enjoying their job. I haven’t had a bad experience since he started.The pool is cold and more organized than I have ever seen. My 4 year old has done amazing in swimming since starting swim lessons.The kid drop off area is a lifesaver. My kids have never left me in a situation they are unfamiliar with and I thought it would be a nightmare dropping them off. Everyone that works in there truly is so sweet and my kids love going!”

“I am a thrift store junkie and visit a thrift shop about twice a week. I love my regular haunts but looking for new pastures, I travelled a bit to reach this one but I'm going to make the journey again soon. This is why: The moment I walked into the store, I was greeted by Holly. You know those robotic welcomes that you often get when walking into any retail store from Walmart to Macy's? This wasn't like that - she made eye contact and gave me as sincere a welcome as I've ever gotten in any store. The store was clean and well organized particularly for a downtown location. Being from out of town and unfamiliar with Everett, I asked for directions from Brit before I left and she put more effort into making sure I would go the right way and not get lost than I remember getting from anyone else ever. I had small encounters with two other employees and they were just as pleasant. Yes, I found a clothing treasure but it wasn't so amazing that I'll travel an hour and forty-five minutes to go back.
I'll be going back because of the employees. Really, really well done.”

“First of all, prettiest goodwill location I’ve ever seen with the evergreens surrounding, wow.

Good selection with decent prices, I didn’t get too lucky today but I left with matching wifey/hubby mugs and a cute pink woolly sweater ($10 = $5 color of the week) that made me happy :)”

“Hey there Cacoon! In a House ! I love your outreach team so much that they've encouraged me to do better live better and be peaceful ! Id like to thank the whole entire outreach team of cacoon house because they are really nice and respectful when it comes to asking for help or where to place certain items. Ilove your food its the bombest of the bomb everyone there are loving and careing for one another team work has the best of it all ! Thankyou so much Cacoon house advocates right on !:)”

“Housing Hope is a wonderful, effective enterprise making a real difference to communities in Snohomish County. I can think of no more worthwhile target for giving during the holiday period.”

“I have been shopping at Everett Goodwill for years, and I enjoy searching for items needed and fun treasures.Unfortunately, as we all have experience and expressed prices have gone up. But then we take a look at the difficulty in donations and theft.May our community support Goodwill job training.”

“I got membership here due to my daughter’s swim lessons. I ended up enjoying this place so much. Tons of group classes to choose from! The instructors are super friendly! I was also offered orientation of the gym and equipments. Working out is not my vibe but I’m thoroughly enjoying the group classes I take. I do Yoga, Zumba, Barre, Group Power and Group Active. Love each and every one of them. Yet to try Group fight but I’m sure that will be as awesome as the other classes!The front desk is always friendly and never miss to greet! A special shoutout to the girls at the kids zone! My 5 year old looks forward to go kids zone every single day. The girls at the kids zone are very cheerful and friendly with the kids. They sit and spend time with kids to teach them coloring and some art and craft as well. My daughter is always excited to show me her coloring pages and little craft projects she does there while I enjoy my group class.I just wish they had a Sauna here. I enjoy sitting in the hot tub sometimes after my class but Sauna would have been much better! But nonetheless, this place is loved by me and my 5 yr old.”
