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

History

Prior to European settlement, the Stillaguamish had a village site located opposite the site of the old town, on the banks of the north fork of the Stillaguamish River. There were two large winter houses, with around 150-200 people living here. [2]

A post office called Hazel was established in 1903, and remained in operation until 1927. [3] The community was named after the daughter of a first settler. [4]
