Lynnwood sits just 16 miles north of Seattle, making it close enough for the big-city amenities while still providing a suburban feel. With 350 acres of well-maintained parks and trails, the town is a great place for those who love spending time outdoors. Lynnwood is also home to the Alderwood Mall which is made up of two open-air shopping centers known as The Village and the Terraces, as well as a traditional enclosed mall. Being close to Interstate 5, Lynnwood is a great place for commuters going into Seattle or Everett.
