Arlington reflects the beauty and diversity of the Northwest It has the friendly atmosphere of a small town with “big city” amenities less than an hour away. Sitting near the base of the Cascade Mountain Range and bordered by the rolling Stillaguamish River with the Interstate 5 corridor just minutes away, Arlington is the perfect town for the slow-paced lifestyles many are looking for. Within the city limits, the friendly shopkeepers will gladly help accommodate the need for varieties of merchandise Modern structures and restored buildings from the 1930’s era create the charms of Olympic Avenue, the town’s main street.
The vast recreational playground of State and National Forests surround the area to allow ready access to wilderness hiking, backpacking and skiing. Nearby lakes and rivers team together to please the sport fishermen. Arlington preserves the natural beauty of the surrounding area in town by maintaining three city parks and the Centennial fountain.
Arlington began in the late 1800’s as a lumber town with shingle mills, sawmills, and logging camps Today the community attracts new businesses and residents, as well as visitors because of it’s convenient location and beautiful surroundings.
