About Us
Our story
Lya Bagley and Karen Guzak started an Indivisible Group in the City of Snohomish right after the 2016 election. We met at Angel Arms Works, calling the group Snohomish Rising. We divided into several groups, taking action to call and write our elected representatives. Over time the one lively and sustainable group was the Greenies, committed to local environmental action.
Now, five years later, we are GREEN SNOHOMISH!
Activities

Every year we organize and lead the Historic Snohomish Tree Tour in appreciation of our magnificent tree-lined streets.

Led a grassroots effort that succeeded in the Reusable Bag Ordinance passed by the Snohomish City Council in 2019.

Farmer’s Market

Member education
We learn and teach each other how to make a difference through individual actions, by being involved with local government, and making connections in the community.
