The county extends from Puget Sound eastward to the North Cascades, featuring river valleys and foothills terrain. The Snohomish and Stillaguamish rivers create fertile agricultural valleys.

Agriculture operates in the river valleys with emphasis on dairy operations, berries, and vegetables despite urban development pressure. Remaining farmland focuses on high-value crops and direct marketing to nearby urban populations.
