Anyone know of any shooting area near Snohomish County?

[Matt DeCandia]

Hi all I'm new to NWFirearms.com By brother and I have been asking around about any shooting areas in or near Snohomish county WA. No one seems to know of any or just don't want to say anything. We went shooting down near Bonney lake a couple of weeks ago good spot but way to far.
Does Anybody know of any spots?

I take it you're looking for public land to shoot on? If so, I've included a link below that lets you know some info about Snohomish County recreational shooting, DNR land and USFS land.

This is all I got for now. Ask around a gun store or two for specific places. Usually, it's a case of just take a drive and you'll see places where people shoot. Pack a map so you know you're on state or fed land. Pick a spot with a good earth berm backstop and have a blast!

Any updates to that list? Looking within an hour of driving from Marysville. I checked that map in the link above but it's pretty confusing.

There's a couple of spots north of Sultan, off Sultan Basin Road.

Thanks, I'll drive up there and check it out. How far off Sultan basin road and which direction?

Head north towards Spada Lake. Watch for pull-outs on the right. One of them will be by a gate -- beyond that gate, about a 10 min stroll, is an old quarry that is quite popular. The other, also on the right, is a set of pullouts where people dragged couches and fridges and stuff into the woods and shot it up. There are other spots where people shoot, but they are of questionable legality -- before I knew better, I shot at a couple of those and had a nice, very friendly chat with a LEO that informed me that where I was shooting was not a good idea. If you get into logging areas, you've gone too far.

Best bet is to go up there on a nice weekend day, see where the cars are parked, and go exploring.
