WA-Counties01-snohomish.jpg

 

The City of Lynnwood located at the junction of I-5 and I-405 is just 20 minutes north of Downtown Seattle and ten minutes south of Everett. Lynnwood is the second largest city in Snohomish County, with an indefinable mix of suburb, small city, crossroads and bedroom community.  

 

On the Washington State map to the left Snohomish County is shown in red.

 

 

 

 

History

Lynnwood’s unusual history includes a 30-acre Demonstration Farm including a hatchery, gardens and orchards. New residents, including emigrants from all over the country, purchased five acre lots from the Puget Mill Company and learned how to make a living off their land raising chickens.

 

Originally called Alderwood Manor in 1917, this area became one of the biggest egg producing areas in America. In 1933 the Demonstration Farm closed due to the depression and Puget Mill Company sold most of the land off in one-acre lots.

 

Many of the original homes that were part of the chicken ranches remain today. Several of the original buildings can also be seen at Heritage Park in Lynnwood. Over the years the farms were subdivided. Alderwood Manor came to be known as Lynnwood. The City of Lynnwood incorporated in 1959.

 

The Downtown / 196th Street SW Area of Lynnwood

Although there is no historical downtown to Lynnwood, the area along 196th Street Southwest between I-5 and US 99 is considered the city center. The City of Lynnwood has plans to create a vibrant commercial city center in this area over the next 20 years. Currently the 196th Street SW area has the usual mix of strip malls, small businesses, chain store outlets, and retail stores.

 

In recent years the area east of I-5 along 196th street has become a popular commercial area. National retail stores like Old Navy, Nordstrom Rack, Barnes and Noble and Babies R Us have opened here.

 

Aurora / US-99 area of Lynnwood

US 99 also known as Highway 99 and Aurora Avenue, is a busy commercial street lined with car dealerships and strip malls. Traveling south on Highway 99 will take you into Edmonds, Shoreline and then Seattle where it is called Aurora Avenue. If you travel north on Highway 99 you will enter into Everett where the road becomes known as Evergreen Way, and then Everett Mall Way where it passes the mall shortly before it intersects I-5.

 

Alderwood Mall area of Lynnwood

Having recently undergone major renovations, Alderwood Mall is a shopper’s dream. Most of the favored department stores can be found here, Nordstrom, Macy’s, JCPenney, and Sears, along with over 175 smaller retail shops.

 

The mall now includes an outdoor shopping area called The Village which contains stores like Pottery Barn, REI, Williams-Sonoma, Eddie-Bauer and Chico’s.

 

Recreation

The Interurban Trail offers over 15 miles of paved trails. This path generally follows the original Interurban Trolley Route and connects Lynnwood and Everett.

 

An original trolley car from this route can be toured at Heritage Park. Heritage Park home to the visitor information center and is located off I-5 exit 181 on Poplar Way. This is a great place to explore the history of Lynnwood and Alderwood Manor in the 1920’s.
