Snohomish County was up to about the year a part of Island County. At about that time it was separated from Island and the present county of Snohomish was created. As to guessing the date, some say , but the museum label would read circa , which means around that time. The first election, I think was held in June for the purpose of deciding whether the county seat should remain at Mukilteo, then the largest town in the county.
