A quiet community in a Stillaguamish River Valley setting
Sunday Lake is a small community in the Stillaguamish River Valley in northern Snohomish County. There's suburban-style flavor in the home types, quiet streets and some gated communities. A rural feel comes with large lots, rustic backroads and forested surroundings. Views of the Olympic and Cascade mountains add to the ambiance. "Sunday Lake is in the sweet spot. It's not in the city of Stanwood, but it's close. It's just location, location, location," says Sid Roberts, the Mayor of Stanwood, a small city about 7 miles west of the lake. Arlington, which has more than double the population, is about 9 miles to the southeast, and Seattle is about 50 miles south.
1970s split-levels and ramblers to 2020s contemporaries and traditionals
Home options in Sunday Lake include 1970s split levels and ramblers. Later builds, including new construction, are traditional, contemporary and manufactured homes. Some properties are in gated communities. Over a year, as of April 2025, 12 homes had been sold in Sunday Lake, with prices ranging from $500,000 to $1.3 million. Square footage and acreage are the main factors for the wide price range. "I've always thought of Sunday Lake as affordable, even though now there are some pricey homes being built there," Mayor Roberts says. Sunday Lake's CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
Fishing, boating and the Sunday Lake Community Club
Sunday Lake has fishing access and a walk-in boat launch, although no gasoline-powered boats are allowed. It's a habitat for Pumpkinseed Sunfish, Largemouth Bass and Yellow Perch. The Sunday Lake Community Club, a formal association for people living on the southeast side of the lake, brings neighbors together and works to protect the lake through initiatives like reducing pollution and toxic algae.
The Stillaguamish Tribe and the Angel of the Winds Casino Resort
The Stillaguamish River, south of Sunday Lake, is named for the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians. "Stillaguamish" is an indigenous term meaning "people of the river." The Stillaguamish Tribe reservation and the Angel of the Winds Casino Resort are about 5 miles from Sunday Lake. The tribe also has off-reservation trust land.
Interstate 5 access and buses from the Stanwood Park & Ride
Access to Interstate 5 is a significant perk for people living in Sunday Lake: "You get off I-5, and Sunday Lake is right there," says Mayor Roberts, who has also worked in real estate through his business, the Roberts Realty Group LLC. He says some homebuyers initially want to move to Camano Island, which is west of Stanwood, but may choose Sunday Lake when they realize how convenient it is. Stanwood I-5 Park & Ride is a spot to catch a Community Transit bus, which travels to the Seaway Transit Center in Everett, past Arlington, via Smokey Point and Marysville. Another route extends farther south to Lynnwood, where commuters can catch the light rail to Seattle. "You can take an express bus from right there at the Park & Ride to light rail, and on to Sea-Tac airport and on from there to Singapore," Mayor Roberts says, referencing Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which has service to more than two dozen destinations outside of the U.S.
Zoned to Stanwood-Camano School District or Arlington School District
Residences closest to the lake and west of it are zoned to Stanwood-Camano School District. Cedarhome Elementary School earns a B grade from Niche, Stanwood Middle School receives a B-minus and Stanwood High School has a B. Addresses to the southeast may be zoned to Arlington School District. Presidents Elementary School and Haller Middle School earn B grades, and Arlington High School receives a B-plus. Weston High School, with a C grade, is a district-wide school with an alternative learning program.
Stanwood Deli and Gas and Johnny's Burger Stop, more in Stanwood
Stanwood Deli and Gas is the closest spot to the lake for essentials and a bite to eat. Johnny's Burger Stop shares space with the convenience store and has a patio for outdoor dining. Across the parking lot is the coffee hut Wicked Brew Espresso. People travel to Stanwood for shopping centers, grocery stores and a variety of cuisines. There are locally owned businesses as well as national brands. "Stanwood is kind of the epicenter for this area. It's where people go to the doctor typically, to see their lawyer and go shopping," Mayor Roberts says. One of the biggest events is the Stanwood-Camano Community Fair, held over three days in August and featuring a parade organized by the Stanwood-Camano Rotary Club.
