Maltby balances quiet, woodsy living with easy access to wine, dining, and jobs. Tucked into Snohomish County, this community is known for winding country roads, roomy lots, and a relaxed pace that still puts you minutes from tasting rooms in Woodinville. Weekends often start on the trails: the 790-acre Paradise Valley Conservation Area offers serene paths for hikers, bikers, and equestrians, while nearby Lord Hill Regional Park rewards you with river overlooks and miles of forested routes, both maintained by the county.
Local flavor runs deep. The beloved Maltby Cafe, housed in a historic school building, draws loyal crowds for generous breakfasts and scratch-baked cinnamon rolls. Gardeners and DIY landscapers spend hours at expansive nurseries, and seasonal farm stands dot the backroads. Daily needs are covered by convenient grocers and services along SR 522 and SR 9, with bigger retail hubs a short drive away.
Families appreciate schools in the Snohomish School District, including Maltby Elementary School and Glacier Peak High School, known for strong academics, athletics, and arts. Housing ranges from classic ramblers and split-levels to custom homes on acreage, with many properties offering workshops, barns, or space to expand. Whether you’re upsizing for more elbow room or downsizing without sacrificing privacy, Maltby delivers a calm, connected lifestyle.
