Snoqualmie Ice Cream Scoop Shops, Maltby and Snoqualmie

Delicious Snoqualmie Ice Cream has two scoop shops: the original in Maltby and a newer one in its namesake Snoqualmie. Best news? They’re both open daily — hooray! The barn attached to the Maltby scoop shop is where the ice cream is made and you can peek in to see the process. This all-natural ice cream maker supplies the base for several Seattle chains, including Molly Moon’s and Full Tilt. This shop has lots of seating outside, so there’s plenty of space to hang out. Chocolate and vanilla are always popular, and you won’t want to miss out on the lavender.

Pro tip: When visiting the Maltby shop, take a hike at the nearby Paradise Valley Conservation Area in Woodinville. In Snoqualmie, thrill your train fans at the Northwest Railway Museum.

Find it: 21106 86th Ave. S.E., Snohomish (even though the address is Snohomish, find this shop in the town of Maltby, between Woodinville and Snohomish); 8102 Railroad Ave. S.E., Snoqualmie
