Regarding the recent fatal house fire near Gold Bar, the home that burned is in unincorporated Snohomish County, not the city of Gold Bar. Many people in the rural areas have Gold Bar mailing addresses.
Living out in the country on your acreage is a wonderful life, beautiful trees, babbling brooks, sound of the wild in the morning. However, you do not get city services such as a central water system with fire hydrants. So, if living in the country is your goal, be sure to have a good supply of self-reliance.
