In Snohomish, Top It Yogurt Shoppe has become a captivating homage to the Titanic, spearheaded by owner Ken Coman, who unveiled a life-sized replica of the ship's hull in January 2025. Standing 13 feet tall and 24 feet long, the model features 1,015 intricately crafted 3-D printed rivets and portholes made by the same firm that supplied the originals for the Titanic. Coman's passion project began in October 2023, and over 19 months, he meticulously focused on authenticity, ensuring that each aspect of the model was as true to the original as possible. Alongside the Titanic replica, the shop boasts an impressive collection of memorabilia, including a bronze bell and artifacts from the RMS Olympic, enriching the visitor experience. Customers can even find chalk markings outside that correspond to the Titanic's deck dimensions, adding an interactive element to the attraction.

This unique blend of history and delightful frozen yogurt has made Top It a must-visit spot, appealing to both locals and tourists. Coman’s dedication to preserving maritime history through this innovative venture reflects a community spirit and a deep appreciation for the past. The shop's transformation into a Titanic-themed destination has brought a new level of engagement and curiosity to the Snohomish area.
