At one time known as the "The Hub City," Burlington was crossroads to two important railway systems. Burlington has grown from it's origins, as a logging camp and railroad center to include cold storage, metal and fiberglass fabrication, boat building, rail ways, agriculture, and chemical manufacturing.

In recent years, Burlington has established itself as a shopper's mecca, drawing shoppers from Canada to Seattle. Burlington's Cascade Mall draws over 4 million visitors a year! Major retailers such as Best Buy and Costco have established outlets in Burlington.

Even so... Downtown Burlington has a "small town" feel, with many small stores and shops that cater to the local clientele. Burlington's a great place to live!

Burlington is situated directly on Interstate 5 in the beautiful Skagit Valley. Seattle is only an hour to the south and Vancouver, BC is just over an hour to the north. State Highway 20 is just north of town, and leads west to the San Juan Islands. To the east it leads through the Cascade Mountains, and on to central Washington.

Real Estate is still affordable in Burlington. As of January, 2006, the median price for 3-bedroom, 2-bath homes that sold in the last 60 days was $265,000.
