Lynnwood Overview

Located just 16 miles north of Seattle, Lynnwood is a thriving and nature-heavy city that will appeal to a wide variety of potential Washington state residents. From public parks to a long history steeped in the timber trade, this charming locale's ambiance will be immediately apparent to all who choose to consider it.

What is the history of Lynnwood?

Thanks to its proximity to Puget Sound and an abundance of trees, Lynnwood established itself as a hub of logging in the late 1800s, and by 1910 the Seattle-Everett Railway was a presence in the city. The popularity of the city continued to help it grow, and by the 1920s it boasted well over 1,500 residents, as well as electricity and telephone service in a majority of the homes. The city was officially incorporated in 1959, and the addition of Interstate-5 in 1965 helped further cement the future of Lynnwood. Retail shopping malls and other urban growth soon followed, with numerous office parks and the construction of a large convention center continuing to spurn growth into the 2000s.

How is the weather in Lynnwood?

Like much of the northwest, those residing in Lynnwood apartments should prepare for a hearty amount of precipitation. Fortunately, the rain tends to be consistent but not drenching, and heaviest mainly in the fall and winter months. Snow is a rarity, and the summers are most pleasant, often highlighted by peaks of sunshine. 

How do I get around town?

Community Transit offers an abundance of bus service throughout the city and the surrounding region, although many living in a Lynnwood apartment still choose to rely upon a private car or truck for most daily needs. Lite rail is currently under construction, with an aim to begin offering service by 2024. Seattle's airport is very popular, offering numerous flights every day.

What is the Lynnwood commute like?

Interstates 5 and 405 are both the most widely-used roadways in the city, offering easy north-south travel. Those commuting to Seattle of Bellevue via these roads can expect some daily congestion, especially during prime morning and late afternoon hours. State Route 99 is yet another option, more of a 'scenic route' that still moves at a fairly brisk pace.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Weekly Herald' and the 'Seattle Times' both service the city's print news needs, and a number of broadcasting stations call the area home, including KOMO and KING-TV. Radio is a diverse mix of favorites ranging from classic rock and jazz to modern pop and alt-country. Talk radio is also popular in the region.

What Lynnwood landmarks should I see?

Keeler's Korner is an instantly recognizable historic landmark, a gas pumping station dating back to the 1920s, and the local Masonic Temple is also currently under consideration for inclusion in the National Historic Registry. Heritage Park collects a number of structures from the city's past, including the 1913 Wickers Building, and no Lynnwood experience is complete without a stop by the wildlife preservation of Lund's Gulch.

What is there to do around Lynnwood?

Those calling a Lynnwood rental home can enjoy an abundance of municipal spaces, including a golf course and a skate park, while the Alderwood Mall remains the hottest spot to hunt for bargains.
