Recreation Economy round-up – July 2017

July 19, 2017 by April Claxton Leave a Comment

Here’s a re-cap of some of the noteworthy recreation economy stories from the past month. 

Economic impact of travel spending to Snohomish County reaches over $1 billion in 2016
“Tourism and outdoor recreation in Snohomish County is a significant contributor to our local economy. The things that make Snohomish County a great place for visitors also makes it a great place to live. The development of tourism assets from attractions and hotels, to biking trails and parks, and our natural assets of coastline and mountain peaks make Snohomish County a wonderful place for visitors to explore”
