City of Sedro-Woolley

Mission Statement
The mission of the Sedro-Woolley City government is to provide selected services that are not traditionally offered by the private sector. This will be achieved through providing the highest quality services we can within the resources with which we’re provided; involving residents in all aspects of planning and operations; serving as a clearinghouse for public information; and operating facilities which meet the legitimate, identified concerns of the residents of and visitors to our community. We believe in being community-centered, consistently contributing to the quality of life in our area and as fully deserving of the public’s trust through the consistent expression of positive values and acceptance of accountability for producing meaningful results.

Sedro-Woolley celebrated its 100th year, honoring the city's incorporation on December 19, 1898, which officially merged the neighboring towns of Sedro and Woolley.

In 1884, Mortimer Cook brought his family to the Skagit Valley from California. He bought and cleared 34 acres along the Skagit River, near what is now Riverfront Park. The town is deeply connected to its history through the descendants of its founding families and through many historical buildings, such as the Bingham mansion, which was owned by one of the original residents of Woolley in 1890.
