Lynnwood History

In 1889 William Morrice purchased the 100 acres which is now the site of Alderwood Mall, Lynnwood’s shopping experience.  Only a few hardy pioneering families lived in this remote central part of South Snohomish County, and a trip to Seattle for supplies took two days by horse-drawn wagon.

Before World War One, there was a nationwide "back to the land" movement promoting the creation of farms on logged-off acreage. Puget Mill, a company owning most of the land currently occupied by Lynnwood, began selling five-acre "stump farms." In 1917, the company developed a 30-acre poultry farm to demonstrate how a farmer might make a five-acre tract pay for itself. The Demonstration Farm was conveniently located next to the Interurban Railway that ran between Seattle and Everett. Across the tracks from the Demonstration Farm, ten acres were set aside as urban lots, and a brick, Tudor-style general store was built to serve the growing community.

By the 1930's, the remaining chicken farmers in the Alderwood Manor area were struggling to survive. Income from the sale of eggs and broilers was down at the Demonstration Farm, but despite these losses, the Puget Mill Company made a handy profit in land sales. Some five acre tracts were sold two or three times as buyers abandoned the Puget Mill contracts which carried an interest rate double the standard rate at the time. In 1933, the Puget Mill Company closed the Demonstration Farm, turning the central five acres over to Norm Collins who established the Washington Breeders Hatchery. The remaining 25 acres was subdivided into one-acre "ranchettes."

By the end of World War II, Lynnwood emerged, a mile west of Alderwood Manor, as an assertive business district catering to the motoring public. By the mid-1950's, growth dictated the need for municipal services such as fire prevention, sewers, policing and land use controls. This demand for services spurred an incorporation effort which resulted in the incorporation of Lynnwood as a city in 1959.
