Heritage Farmlands
Where Two Rivers Meet.
Since time immemorial a salmon-fishing domain of the Salish people, the Tualco Valley – “Tualco,”in the Lushootseed language of the Salish, meant “meeting place,” – was the home of the Snohomish, Skykomish, and Snoqualmie tribes until white settlers moved to the area, attracted by abundant forests and rich valley soil. Logging and farming drove the region’s growth. The settlers established a township along the riverbank; today we know it as Monroe.

Stewardship of the Land
A Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) Farmland Preservation grant funded Snohomish County’s purchase of development rights, turning the estate into a permanent agricultural conservation easement. Farmland Preservation protects valuable farmland and habitat for recreationally important animals, like salmon, birds, deer, and elk. These projects allow farmers to continue farming the land and provide Washingtonians with healthy local food and a diverse economy. The farmland has been actively involved in Riparian Protection restoration projects and is certified as salmon-safe.
Supports a Wide Array of Uses
First cultivated by a visionary chef-farmer to support his passionate culinary interests and projects, the farmland lends itself to bold re-envisioning, limited only by your imagination. The existing built environment supports a wide array of uses. An existing septic tank on the estate could potentially support a five-bedroom residence. Buyers interested in building a personal residence on the estate are encouraged to undertake a feasibility study to explore the acquisition of construction rights from Snohomish County.

Fountain grasses sway and five species of bamboo rustle in the breeze. Rainier cherry, apple and plum trees, Japanese snowbell, and flowering dogwoods announce springtime with their blossoms. Coral bark maples punctuate the arrival of fall. Meadow plantings of yarrow, alyssum, and California poppies surround a pond vivid with lilies and cattails. Natural beauty that delights the senses and soothes the soul.
