Florence is an unincorporated community in Snohomish County, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1]

History

A post office called Florence was established in 1884, and remained in operation until 1949.[2] The community was platted in 1866 and named after the love interest of an early postmaster.[3]

During its heyday, Florence had several hotels, bars and restaurants, as well as a stagecoach line and dock for sternwheelers. Florence eventually lost out to nearby Stanwood as the area's main center of commerce.[4]
