Where Is Skydive Snohomish Located and How Do I Get There?
Updated
Skydive Snohomish is in Snohomish, Washington, about 20 miles from Seattle. The drop zone sits over the Snohomish River Valley, and the drive from most Puget Sound cities is short enough for a day trip. If you're coming from Everett, Marysville, Redmond, Bellevue, or Seattle, you can reach the center in roughly 9 to 24 miles. Farther cities like Tacoma, Bellingham, Olympia, and Wenatchee are also within a reasonable drive for a planned visit.

Getting There
The website provides a Contact Us page and a Directions page under its Contact menu. Use those for the exact address and turn-by-turn routing, since the site does not publish a street address in the content available here. Enter the destination into your preferred maps app and confirm the route before you leave.
If you're flying in, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is the closest major airport, and the center is roughly 20 miles from Seattle. You'll still need ground transportation to reach Snohomish.
Why the Location Matters
Being 20 miles from Seattle makes Skydive Snohomish a practical choice for a first jump or a repeat visit without an overnight stay. The center has been operating over the Snohomish River Valley since 2000, with aviation roots dating to the 1940s, and it hosts nearly 20,000 tandem students and experienced skydivers each year. The views over the valley are part of the draw.
Before You Go
- Call ahead: The listed phone number is 360.568.7703. Use it to confirm hours, weather status, and whether you need an appointment.
- Check the Class Status page: The site has a "Tandem Class Status" link, which suggests scheduling or availability can change. Check it before making the drive.
- Book in advance: The site has a "Book Now!" option, so reserving your slot is the expected path rather than walking in.
- Plan for the full trip: Skydiving involves check-in, training, the jump, and debrief, so budget more time than just the drive.
If you're deciding whether the trip is worth it from your city, the distance table above is the fastest way to judge. For anything within about 25 miles — Everett through Bellevue — it's an easy half-day outing. From Tacoma or Bellingham, plan it as a dedicated trip and confirm your booking first.
