Quiet living near Camano Island
At the mouth of the Stillaguamish River, near Port Susan and Skagit Bay, Stanwood is a quiet community with a historic downtown and new subdivisions. The city is connected by Highway 532 to nearby Camano Island, a major destination for outdoor recreation. “It’s a different animal than Camano in that it’s more family-friendly,” says Dianna Pence of Windermere Real Estate, who has nearly two decades of experience in the area. “Stanwood has more jobs, it’s more affordable and has better schools, but then people may decide to retire to Camano when the kids are out of the house.” The town of 8,800 residents sits 50 miles north of Seattle and offers a quiet alternative to city life.
The City of Stanwood features homes with a medium price of $706,000.

Locals have breweries, coffee shops and dessert bars all within a few blocks of one another. Art galleries, antique shops and boutique clothing stores are available.

Beaches at Camano Island State Park
Stanwood is home to eight city parks, the largest being Heritage Park, which has skate and dog parks. Proximity to the water makes Hamilton Landing Park a popular spot with a boat launch and fishing access. “It’s really easy to just cross the bridge, and within minutes you’re on Camano Island, which has two great state parks,” says Pence. Camano Island State Park has miles of trails, campgrounds and beaches. Cama Beach State Park has a boat launch and areas for swimming and kayaking. Both parks allow leashed pets and firepits in designated areas.
Camano Island State Park offers residents and visitors many scenic nature views.
