A Bit of History
Originally farmland in the early 1900s, Lynnwood transformed rapidly in the post-WWII era when suburban growth expanded north of Seattle. Alderwood Mall, which opened in 1979, cemented Lynnwood as the region’s retail and business hub. Today, Lynnwood blends that commercial energy with a growing sense of community — new parks, cultural centers, and residential neighborhoods are reshaping its identity.
