Did You Know?

The Gnome of Kindness is already scouting Snohomish County’s top pumpkin patches for fall fun!

This su‑su‑super‑small garden gnome (just about five inches tall!) loves two things: gigantic pumpkins and regional goodwill. And when September and October roll around, you’ll find him wandering among the gourds, sniffing hay smells, and making friends with patch farmers.

Here are the top five pumpkin patches in Snohomish County, hand-picked by the gnome himself:
