Lynnwood Real Estate

Lynnwood, Washington, in Snohomish County, was officially incorporated on April 20, 1959, from a larger unincorporated area called Alderwood Manor. The area was originally platted, developed, and sold as one-acre lots designed for raising chickens. Even today you can see many of the original 80 year old homes that were the chicken ranches.

Today, Lynnwood’s population is 33,847, making it the fourth largest in Snohomish County and twenty-fourth largest in Washington State. The city is an indefinable mix of urban, suburban, small city, crossroads and bedroom community to many professionals who work in Seattle. Lynnwood is known to be the "hub city" of south Snohomish County because of all the retail shopping. Straddling the junction between Interstate 5 and the north end of Interstate 405 in Washington, it is the final tangle of population on the north end of "greater Seattle" before one continues on to other places northward.
