Lynnwood incorporated in April 1959, per HistoryLink, and grew mostly by annexation. The 2020 Census counted 38,568 residents, up from 35,836 in 2010. Light rail reached City Center station on August 30, 2024.
The city's 2005 subarea plan covers the blocks inside 44th Ave W, 196th St SW and I-5 and sets aside the West End for condos, apartments and townhouses. New buildings have few resales, so builder sales are checked against older condos nearby.
About 1.5 square miles between I-5 and Highway 99, from 196th to 212th St SW, per the city's 2021 neighborhood plan. Houses share blocks with older apartments and light industrial zoning, so the report says what sits next door.
Cedar Valley grew around Peter Schreiber's claim on SW 196th Street, land that became Scriber Lake Park, a nature refuge. Next to its wetlands we measure how much of a lot is usable before comparing it.
Puget Mill Company sold this logged land in 5 to 10 acre tracts from 1917; most of it joined Lynnwood in 1984. The acreage has been split many times since, so lot size and legal description come first.
Subdivisions spread along Highway 99 after 1945, HistoryLink notes, and Edmonds College (founded 1967) anchors the College District. A house fronting the highway and one two streets back get different comps.
Housing type comes first: the city's 2021 Housing Action Plan, citing 2018 OFM figures, counts 49 percent single family homes and 39 percent multifamily. Then city limits, since unincorporated North Lynnwood and Alderwood Manor can carry Lynnwood addresses (the city's address map settles it). Arterial frontage and wetland edges follow.
Lenders order purchase, refinance and FHA reports. Owners and attorneys order estate and date of death, divorce, pre listing and relocation work. Appealing your assessment? See the tax appeal guide.
About half of Lynnwood's homes are not detached houses, and our team knows condos, townhomes and every attached type well. The report reads the HOA budget and ownership form, then matches unit position and parking before adjusting for size. You get updates along the way and a clean report on the date we set.
