Nestled alongside the Skagit River, Burlington exudes a small-town atmosphere about midway between Seattle and the Canadian border. Burlington boasts a historic downtown area along Fairhaven Avenue, with a slew of specialty shops, offices, and cafes in old-fashioned buildings.

Burlington also contains retail destinations like Cascade Mall and the Outlet Shoppes at Burlington, which offer plenty of brand-name retailers and eateries to choose from. Burlington’s natural beauty is pervasive, from its lush tree-lined avenues to its sweeping vistas of the Cascade Mountains. The town is within minutes of popular outdoor venues such as Tulip Town and Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Direct access to I-5 connects Burlington to Bellingham, Everett, Seattle, and beyond.
