A Place to Do Business

The City of Stanwood is located in a beautiful setting. We are nestled on the edge of Puget Sound with access to Mount Baker and the Cascade mountain range. Since West Stanwood was founded in 1870 as a thriving port community, the city has been the economic and cultural center for residents in Snohomish, Skagit and Island counties.

Today, the city has a diverse economy serving over 40,000 regional residents. Although we have retained our small town Scandinavian character, we are home to a range of employers and retailers including home-based businesses, locally owned shops and restaurants, national chains, light industrial and manufacturing companies. The city is situated in one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world.

Our community recognizes the value of the natural environment. We are environmentally conscious. We welcome business and residents that share our enthusiasm for sustainable development. We are seeking business leaders and entrepreneurs who are looking to relocate to a family friendly city with good schools and a well-educated workforce.
