Partner With Us

People come to this site when they’re planning a day in the Snohomish Valley. We’d like to send some of them your way.

Festival of Pumpkins started with the farms, and the farms will always be at the heart of it. But a good day out here is more than a pumpkin patch. It’s lunch on First Street, a coffee on the drive in, the farm stand on the way home. So we’re opening the blog to the local businesses that make the valley what it is, all year round and not just in October.

Ways to work with us

Business spotlight

A full blog post about your business. We talk with you, take or gather photos, and write a real story about who you are, what you do and why people should stop by.

Season sponsor

Your logo and a short message on our most-visited pages during September and October, when people are actively planning trips to the farms.

Event listing

Running a harvest dinner, a market, a fundraiser or a fall event in the valley? Send us the details and we’ll consider it for our events roundups.

Who we’re looking for

Local, independent businesses in and around the Snohomish Valley. That includes farms and farm stands, cafes, bakeries, restaurants, breweries and cideries, downtown Snohomish shops, makers and artists, and the services local families rely on. If you’re not sure you fit, ask.

How it works

  1. Send us an email with your business name, where you are and what you have in mind.
  2. We’ll set up a short call or visit to learn about you, and send current options and rates.
  3. For spotlights, we write the post and send it to you to check the facts before it goes live.
  4. We publish it and share it, and it stays on the site so people keep finding it.

Straight talk about sponsored content

Paid posts and sponsorships are always labeled as such. We’ll write good things about your business because there are good things to say, but we won’t make claims you can’t back up, and we don’t sell reviews. Readers trust a guide that’s honest with them, and that trust is what makes a feature here worth having. You can read the details in our sponsorship and editorial policy.
