Sedro-Woolley

Thick stands of Western red cedar covering the Skagit River valley first attracted logging interest to Sedro - from the Spanish word cedro meaning "cedar" - in the late 1800's. Prospectors soon followed, on their way to the Mount Baker region during the gold rush. After developing into the head of navigation on the Skagit River, Sedro merged with the town of Woolley, a junction for the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroads.Fertile farmlands have replaced the valley's dense forests, although logging remains important to the community. Sedro-Woolley is in Skagit County, east of Burlington on Highway 20, the North Cascades Highway.
