Monroe Washington Chamber of Commerce
Monroe Washington is located on US Highway 2 with easy access to Steven's Pass, the Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett Metro areas, and the beautiful 
Skykomish valley, Monroe is the perfect blend of rural life with urban amenities. Come experience Monroe - and make it your home town!
Monroe was incorporated in 1902 with 325 citizens. The population swelled to nearly 2,000 over the next seven years, due, in part, to the location of two new employers in the Monroe area. With the encouragement and support of the newly formed Monroe Commercial Club, the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company (Carnation) and the new Washington State Reformatory opened for business.
(The smokestack near Traveler's Park is a remnant of the Carnation Plant.)
Between 1910 and 1980, the population of Monroe experienced little change. The completion of SR2 and SR 522 linked Monroe to the metropolitan areas of Everett and Seattle. Like its first decade, Monroe is now experiencing a second period of rapid growth. Like those early residents, people are drawn to Monroe because of its economic opportunities, natural beauty, "small town" atmosphere.
