Lynnwood

Sitting squarely between Seattle and Everett with convenient access to I-5, Lynnwood is a picture-perfect commuter community, keeping things at home just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger city. Known as a retail hub, shoppers will find plenty of options at Alderwood Mall, as well as growing businesses on the major thoroughfares nearby. If you want to spend a beautiful Northwest day in the outdoors, you’re in luck. There are plenty of parks to be found in Lynnwood, including 14 miles of recreational trails and Lund Gulch and Scriber Creek natural conservation areas.
