Hello! It's Taylor, the creator of @SnohomishWalks. SnohomishWalks is a growing collection of digital resources that connect people, past & place through story and art. This project started out as pretty photos of old homes. Now it's become something bigger: a whole community of folks with a passion for history and small-town Snohomish.

To create SnohomishWalks content, I travel to archives all across our state, researching and reading musty newspapers; I track down folks to interview, then write stories and design graphics to go with; I develop databases of people, place, and historic event details; and I take many, many walks to photograph our scenic town. I love uncovering, preserving, and sharing the history of Snohomish, Washington. There are very few historians devoted to this task and a lot of work to do.

I'm starting this Patreon to support the work of building a rich, resourceful database of history for our town. Funds will help subsidize costs for travel, archive use, donations to other historical organizations that share their resources, digital subscriptions to databases like Ancestry, and the occasional chai tea at Looking Glass Coffee.

Supporters will have access to content beyond public social media posts. The SnohomishWalks Patreon community receives:

Exclusive long-form, media-studded articles on the history of Snohomish (all the stuff that's too in-depth, too juicy - and too PG-13 - for social feeds!)
Early access to new products (several books in the works for 2023!) plus Patreon-only discount codes for walks and retail.
Open access to my brain for research questions about the history of your home, business, or local ancestry.
Endless gratitude from me & other history-loving Snohomies.

If you've enjoyed SnohomishWalks' posts and want to help fund the larger goals of this project - i.e. community-building, cultural resource-sharing, historic building-preserving - please consider supporting my work through Patreon. A recommended donation of $5/month will unlock everything on this page. If you're able to provide more support, it's greatly appreciated. Let's create history together!

Thank you.
