Smith Island in Snohomish County.
Smith Island is located in Snohomish County, just east of Everett, in Washington State. The island is within the Snohomish River delta that flows out into Possession Sound. Smith Island was logged, farmed, and homesteaded in the early 20th Century. Dikes were erected to protect the farmland from saltwater during high tide. Smith Island is separated from the mainland.
The island is mainly agricultural and industrial and separates Everett from Marysville.
