A tight-knit agricultural city on the banks of the Skagit River
Located on the banks of the bending Skagit River, the regional hub and former railroad town of Burlington is about as close to Vancouver, Canada as it is to Seattle. However, it’s that distance from Washington’s largest metropolitan area that helps shape Burlington's appeal. The towering glacier-covered volcano of Mount Baker, about 50 miles northeast, is visible on clear days, while riverfront parks allow residents to tend to community gardens or play baseball with the Skagit Valley as a peaceful backdrop. Over 9,000 people call Burlington home, with agribusiness, woodworking, oil refining and the casino industry providing a solid local economy. Access to Interstate 5 puts Burlington within an hour and a half’s drive from Seattle and a 30-minute drive from Bellingham.
Burlington residents enjoy the breath taking views of the Skagit River.
The Skagit Casino Resort near Sedro-Woolley and Burlington has plenty of entertainment.

Trails and events along and beyond the bending river
Bordered by farmland to the west and north and by the Skagit River to the east and south, Burlington is deeply immersed in nature. The Burlington Dike Trail takes hikers, cyclists and dog-walkers down gravel and dirt paths leading from the Burlington Disc Golf Course to Skagit River Park’s playfields, baseball diamonds and playground.

Lush streetscapes and new developments in Burlington
Burlington’s housing stock primarily originates from the 1970s to 2000s, although some residences were built as far back as the 1920s and the postmodern homes of the Burlington Hill development were constructed as recently as 2024. There are manufactured homes built from the 1970s to the 2000s as well as more-recently built condos and townhouses. Burlington’s median home price of $575,000 is well below the Seattle median and the Bellingham average. That being said site-built bungalows and ranch-style homes as well as multi-story homes with styles varying from Dutch Colonial to postmodern can sell for as high as $1.6 million. Many streets eschew sidewalks in favor of gravel walkways, and houses tend to feature lush gardens and ample shade from tall evergreens.

A small, but diverse shopping scene along George Hopper Road
At Burlington’s southern end, the Burlington Crossings shopping mall is full of big-box retail conveniences like The Home Depot and PetSmart. On the other side of George Hopper Road, a Costco and the Outlet Shoppes at Burlington add variety to the city’s shopping scene. Dining options are just as diverse; Burlington Boulevard alone is home to a Chinese buffet, a Mexican restaurant, a Thai eatery and several brand-name outlets. Though Burlington itself is not home to any casinos, many of its residents are employed at the Swinomish Casino near Anacortes or the Skagit Casino Resort up Interstate 5.
For pet supplies, head to PetSmart at the Burlington Crossings in Burlington.

Innovative education at Burlington-Edison High

Keeping safe in Burlington
According to an October 2024 FBI report, Burlington’s violent crime rate is well below the state average. Like the rest of coastal Washington, Burlington contends with the common risk of flooding, and the city offers detailed flood maps on its website to help residents stay prepared.
Interstate access to big cities and local healthcare
Interstate 5 connects Burlington to Bellingham 25 miles to the north and south to Everett within 40 miles and Seattle within 67 miles. For commuters who wish to skip a long highway drive, they may opt to take buses from the Chuckanut Park & Ride and, if bound for Seattle, transfer to the Puget Sound Transit light rail. Burlington sits just across the Skagit River from Mount Vernon’s Skagit Valley Hospital.
