With a hometown feel, Arlington is situated on the Stillaguamish River at the foot of the Cascade Mountains, providing a beautiful backdrop for the many activities available for all ages.
Outdoor activities range from skiing to hiking, biking, golfing and fishing, and the city has more than 20
parks for residents and visitors to enjoy. The Stillaguamish River is a popular gathering place and a
new park will be opening with an off-leash dog park, camping and swimming area.
“We are fortunate to live on the Stillaguamish River and have access to walking trails with river views at Twin Rivers, Haller and Country Charm Parks,” said Sarah Lopez, Arlington’s recreation manager and communications specialist.” Arlington has a great walking and biking trail – the Centennial Trail – right through the center of our town, easy access and lots of parking for people to enjoy the trail either going north or south. Along the way the city has an impressive collection of public art to admire.”
The quaint downtown, while having a small town feel, offers many shopping and dining options with everything from antique stores to diners and gourmet restaurants. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy views of the Olympic Mountains while golfing 18 holes on the Glen Eagle Golf Course.
“Arlington has numerous community events throughout the year that are possible because we have a wealth of volunteers in this community,” said Lopez. The city offers a farmers market, summer music and Movies in the Park series and an annual street fair in addition to other events.
