About Burlington

Burlington is a Skagit County city that began as a logging camp established by John P. Millett. Today it is known locally for Berry Dairy Days, an annual celebration that fits the surrounding Skagit Valley's farm identity. Cascade Mall and nearby retail corridors have also made Burlington a shopping stop for the region. The city sits near Interstate 5 and close to Mount Vernon, giving it a practical role as a crossroads for agriculture, commerce, and travel through northwest Washington.
