Letter from Sedro-Woolley Mayor Julia Johnson:

Allow

me to be the first to welcome you to Sedro-Woolley, Gateway City to the North Cascades.

Sedro-Woolley is known as an innovative and progressive city, achieving success in technology while maintaining our small-town Americana feel. Renowned for its festivals that occur throughout the year, we celebrate our history in events such as Woodfest, Blast from the Past, LoggerodeoTM, Founder’s Day and the Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting. anks to the vision put into place by former City Council, Skagit Trail Builders, and the talent of our Parks Department, there are several trails, playfields, and parks to enjoy in Sedro-Woolley. Currently we’re nearing completion of renovations to one of our oldest parks, Memorial Park, which now boasts a spray feature for children to enjoy during the warm days. In addition, we have accomplished the first phase of Olmsted Park, scheduled for completion in the summer of 2024. is spacious 17-acre park is located near the SWIFT Center and will welcome many visitors soon. Not to be overlooked, our beautiful and celebrated Riverfront Park hosts a variety of events from class reunions, Summer Concert Series, family BBQs, and gatherings for friends. In addition, Tesarik and Winner Houser Play Fields are two of many play fields that get great use by little league, soft ball, pee-wee football, and soccer teams both local and from other communities.

Sedro-Woolley is experiencing new growth and development city-wide. Our downtown business district has welcomed new stores and restaurants, as well as a superb library. We celebrate this growth, but also honor those businesses that have spanned generations; Rothenbuhlers, Stiles Law, Oliver and Hammers, and Janicki Industry, just to name a few; all have served our community well and continue to do so.

Sedro-Woolley is a great place to live, and a wonderful city that enjoys sharing our heritage with visitors. We have maintained that hometown feel and community spirit, and that is probably experienced more during LoggerodeoTM than any other event and is the longest running celebration in the State of Washington. From the chainsaw carving, log show, and carnival to the parade and climatic fireworks, LoggerodeoTM provides something for everyone.

I am honored to have this opportunity to serve as Sedro-Woolley’s Mayor. ere is much to be proud of and celebrate. I welcome you all to join us, and I hope to see you around town or at one of our city events.

Julia M. Johnson, Mayor of Sedro-Woolley

I’m in the heart of all these exciting happenings in town: From Blast from the Past, with the American Legion Show and Shine car show, new shops opening up, e Woolley Market Building has some things in the works, e Tap Room turning into Barley & Brew, as well as new businesses popping up every here and there such as Mesitzo’s coming back to town!

What Makes Sedro-Woolley Unique?

City of Sedro-Woolley

Sedro-Wooley has always been a special place. Originally, the area was two separate towns called Sedro and Woolley, officially becoming “Sedro-Woolley” when the towns merged into one on December 19, 1898. e town is deeply connected to its history through the descendants of its founding families and through its many historical buildings and wood carvings.

Sedro-Woolley is known as the “Gateway to the North Cascades” because of its location between the scenic Cascade Loop drive to the east and Puget Sounds’ San Juan Islands to the west. e North Cascades recreation area attracts 750,000 visitors every year. e Cascade Loop, which is over 400 miles long, has designation as a National Scenic Byway. e city is situated just minutes from Interstate-5 on Highway 20, midway between Vancouver, Canada and Seattle, Washington.

Sedro-Woolley offers a high quality of life with a small-town atmosphere. e growing community is brought together with year-round destination events located in charming, historic downtown, the Sedro-Woolley Rodeo Grounds, and at Riverfront Park. e city is continuing its evolution from timber to tech, which has brought a younger, more modern feel to the downtown scene.

For many, it’s the easy access to beautiful parks, fishing, skiing, the San Juan Islands

and over 100 miles of trails that are the biggest draw. Families are also eager to move here because of the well-rated school district that has built a reputation for strong public-private partnerships that serve the community and local businesses.
