North Snohomish County - It's time to connect!
Welcome to the North Snohomish County Birth & Parenthood Connection Expo 2025
Birth Parenthood Connection creates meaningful opportunities for perinatal professionals and parents to connect, learn, and grow together. Our events feature networking and professional development for local birth professionals and community expos that bridge the gap between parents and the professionals who support their journey through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. We aim to build a stronger, more informed community around birth and parenthood in Snohomish County.
