The holiday season is in full swing in Snohomish County. The air is brisker, the hot cocoa is ready, and it’s time to get covered in cozy blankets. But don’t hibernate just yet (we know, it’s tempting). Instead, we’ve checked our holiday list twice and it’s time to cross off a few items.

In planning your gifts for friends and family, there are many ways to safely support local businesses and during the shopping season:

Alderwood Mall

With mindful safety measures, curbside pick-up and shopping spot reservations, Alderwood is looking out for you and your loved ones. Snap a (distanced) photo with Santa and enjoy the experience of pampering your friends and family with SnoCo treasures.
