Answer

In 1861, Mukilteo became the provisional county seat, serving as the temporary administrative center for the newly established Snohomish County. This designation was granted due to Mukilteo's strategic location on the Puget Sound, providing accessibility for residents and officials alike. However, the county seat was later moved to Everett in 1897, which remains its permanent location to this day.
