Lynnwood Community Guide

Explore Lynnwood

Lynnwood is the fourth-largest city in Snohomish County, a great suburban community for commuters to Seattle, Everett, and Bellevue. The city has one of the largest concentrations of retailers in the region, anchored by the busy hub of Alderwood Mall, the largest and arguably, best mall in the area. More than shopping, Lynnwood offers a choice of parks that provide tranquility from the shopping and independent restaurants that offer an escape from the chain locations.

Where to Dine

While primarily known as a destination for mall-based shops and restaurants, Lynnwood also offers a substantial selection of independent shops and restaurants. 

The Indigo Kitchen & Alehouse serves cozy comfort food and a large selection of beer and cocktails in their wood and brick space. Hops n Drops is part of a small regional chain of restaurants serving pub food, beer, and wine.  Families will love Sparta’s Pizza & Pasta House, which boasts the Best Pizza in the Universe based on family recipes from the owners’ native country of Greece. Another family favorite is the relaxed atmosphere of Kona Kitchen, where visitors dine on an array of Hawaiian and Japanese dishes. Kona Kitchen is owned by Yuji Okumoto, who fans of the Karate Kid movies will recognize as Chozen from Karate Kid 2.

Lynnwood offers a variety of parks where visitors can spend hours relaxing, unwinding, and recreating.  

Lynndale Park offers walking trails, tennis courts, picnic space, and a rustic outdoor amphitheater. Scriber Lake Park‘s walking trail around the lake includes a boardwalk over the water where visitors often see otters at play. Heritage Park is the home of the Lynnwood Alderwood Heritage Association.
