Alderwood History  In 1917 the Puget Mill Company looking for a
way to lessen the tax burden of their logged off lands developed
the planned community of Alderwood Manor, Washington. To promote
this new community located halfway between Seattle and Everett
they developed a 30-acre Demonstration Farm which included a
hatchery, as well as demonstration gardens and orchards.
Potential residents came from all over the United States and
Canada. Some would arrive on the Interurban Railway that ran
between Seattle and Everett. Once on the Demonstration Farm they

on the 5-acres they were considering purchasing. Soon Alderwood
Manor was one of the largest egg producing regions in the United

the Alderwood Manor Town Center. As more people traveled this
new south/north highway the area around it was developed.
