About North Lynnwood
North Lynnwood is an unincorporated census-designated place of 22,802 (2020 Census) directly north of the city of Lynnwood along the SR-99/I-5 corridor. It is a car-oriented suburban strip of apartments, retail, and light industry — the unincorporated counterpart to Lynnwood's denser core. The value play is proximity: Alderwood's retail, the Lynnwood Link station, and Edmonds' waterfront are all minutes away, at lower housing costs than inside city limits. Edmonds School District serves most of the area.
