The city lies in the traditional territory of theStillaguamish people,an indigenousCoast Salishgroup. Arlington was established in the 1880s by settlers and the area wasplattedas two towns, Arlington and Haller City. Haller City was absorbed by the larger Arlington, which wasincorporatedas a city in 1903. During theGreat Depressionof the 1930s, the Arlington area was the site of major projects undertaken for employment under the direction of federal relief agencies, including construction of amunicipal airportthat would serve as anaval air stationduringWorld War II.Arlington begansuburbanizingin the 1980s, growing by more than 450 percent by 2000 and annexing the unincorporated area ofSmokey Pointto the southwest.

The economy of the Arlington area historically relied ontimberandagriculture.In the early 21st century, it has transitioned to aservice economy,with someaviationindustry jobs near the municipal airport. The city is governed by amayor–council government,electing a mayor and seven city councilmembers. The municipal government maintains the city'sparkssystem andwater and wastewater utilities.Other services, includingpublic utilities,public transportation,and schools, are contracted to regional or county-level agencies and companies.

History

edit

Pre-incorporation

edit

The indigenousCoast Salish peopleshave inhabited thePuget Sound regionsince the retreat of theVashon Glacierapproximately 12,000 years ago.[5][6]Several archeological sites along theStillaguamish Rivercontain artifacts that are dated to the Olcott Phase, approximately 9,000 yearsbefore present.[7]The traditional territory of theStillaguamish peopleincludes modern-day Arlington and much of theStillaguamish Riverbasin; they had at least ten known villages along the river and its tributaries, including two in the Arlington area. Among them wassq'ʷuʔalqʷuʔ(meaning "confluence"; variously anglicized as Skabalko or Skabalco), a settlement with winter longhouses and 200–300 people at the confluence of the two forks of the Stillaguamish River.[6][8][9]Other Coast Salish peoples who were intermarried with the Stillaguamish would travel to this village in the summer to followfish runs.[5]The neighborhood of Kent Prairie (Lushootseed:xʷbaqʷab) was once a prairie where the Stillaguamish,Sauk,andSnohomishwould gather wild crops.[6][8]In modernLushootseed,Arlington and the surrounding area is namedstiqayuʔ,[10]meaning "wolf".[9]

American exploration of the area began in 1851, whenprospectorSamuel Hancock was led by Indian guides on acanoeup the Stillaguamish River.[5][11]: 2 The area was opened tologgingafter the signing of theTreaty of Point Elliottin 1855 between the federal government and various Puget Sound peoples.[12]The Stillaguamish, one of the signatory tribes, were ordered to travel to theTulalip Indian Reservation,but many members refused and remained in their ancestral lands. After attempts in the early 20th century, the tribe were granted federal recognition in 1976 and a reservation in 2014.[9]

In 1856, theU.S. Armybuilt amilitary roadconnectingFort SteilacoomtoFort Bellingham,crossing the Stillaguamish River near the confluence.[8]In the 1880s,wagon roadswere constructed to this area from the towns ofMarysvilleto the south andSilvanato the west, bringing entrepreneurs to the logging camps, informally named "The Forks". The area's first store was opened in 1888 by Nels K. Tvete and Nils C. Johnson, and was followed by a hotel with lodging and meals for loggers.[13][14]

Two settlements were established on the south side of the confluence in anticipation of theSeattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railwaybuilding a track through the area.[5][14]G. Morris Haller, son of ColonelGranville O. Haller,founded a settlement on the banks of the Stillaguamish River in 1883, naming it "Haller City".[12][15]

The Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad chose to build itsdepoton higher ground to the south of Haller City, leading contractors Earl & McLeod to establish a new town at the depot on March 15, 1890.[12]The new town was named "Arlington" afterLord Henry Arlington,member of the cabinet of KingCharles II of England.[16]Arlington and Haller City wereplattedwithin a month of each other in 1890, quickly developing a rivalry that would continue for several years.[5][13]: 804–806 

Arlington and Haller City grew rapidly in their first years, reaching a combined population of 500 by 1893, relying on agriculture, dairy farming and the manufacturing ofwood shinglesas their main sources of income.[5][14]Both towns established their own schools, post offices, saloons, general stores, churches, social clubs, and hotels.[5][13]The two towns were separated by a 40-acre (16 ha) tract claimed by two settlers in 1891, preventing either town from fully absorbing the other.[17]During the late 1890s, the claim dispute was settled and merchants began moving to the larger, more prosperous Arlington, signalling the end for Haller City.[14][18]: 130–133 Today, Haller City is memorialized in the name of a park in downtown Arlington, as well as amiddle schooloperated by the Arlington School District.[19][20]

Incorporation and early 20th century

edit

Arlington wasincorporatedas afourth-class cityon May 20, 1903, including the remnants of Haller City (located north of modern-day Division Street).[5]The incorporation came after a referendum on May 5, in which 134 of 173 voters approved the city's incorporation.[21][22]The new city elected shingle mill owner John M. Smith as its first mayor.[11]: 16 [13][23]In the years following incorporation, Arlington gained a localbank,acooperativecreamery,a city park, a library, electricity, and telephone service.[5][18]: 144 

During the early 20th century, Arlington's largest employers remained its shingle mills and saw mills. Other industries, including dairy processing, mechanical shops, stores, and factories, became prominent afterWorld War I,during a period of growth for the city.[5]TheGreat Depressionof the 1930s forced all but one of the mills to close, causing unemployment to rise in Arlington and neighboring cities. The federal government established aCivilian Conservation Corps(CCC) camp nearDarringtonto create temporary jobs; the young men built structures and conductedfirefightingin theMount Baker National Forest.[5][18]: 243–245 TheWorks Progress AdministrationandCivil Works Administrationfunded the construction of the city's sidewalks, ahigh school,and amunicipal airportthat opened in 1934.[5]

The entry of the United States intoWorld War IIbrought theU.S. Navyto Arlington, resulting in the conversion of the municipal airport into anaval air stationin 1943. The Navy constructed new runways and hangars and, beginning in 1946, the municipal government was allowed to operate civilian and commercial services. Ownership of the airport was formally transferred from the federal government back to the city of Arlington in 1959.[11]: 72 [24]

On October 19, 1959, aBoeing 707-227crashed on the banks of the Stillaguamish River's North Fork during a test flight, killing four of eight occupants. The plane, being flown by Boeing test pilots instructing personnel fromBraniff International Airways,lost three engines and suffered a fire in the fourth after adutch rollhad been executed beyond maximum bank restrictions. The plane made an emergency landing in the riverbed while unsuccessfully trying to reach a nearby open field.[25][26][27]

Suburbanization and present day

edit

The completion ofInterstate 5andState Route 9in the late 1960s brought increased residential development in Arlington, forming abedroom communityfor commuters who worked inEverettandSeattle.Despite the influx of commuting residents, Arlington retained its small-town image while unsuccessfully attempting to lure new industries and a state college.[28]Suburbanhousing developments began construction in the 1980s and 1990s, driving a 450 percent increase in Arlington's population to 15,000 by 2007.[5][29]In 1999, Arlington annexed the community ofSmokey Point,located along Interstate 5 to the southwest of the city, after a lengthy court battle with Marysville, which instead was permitted to annexLakewoodto the west.[30][31]The city began developing a large business park around the municipal airport in the 1990s, bringing the city's number of jobs to a total of 11,000 by 2003.[32][33]

The city of Arlington celebrated its centennial in 2003 with a parade, a festival honoring the city's history, sporting events, and musical and theatrical performances.[34][35]The centennial celebrations culminated in the dedication of the $44 millionArlington High Schoolcampus, attended by an all-class reunion of the old school.[36][37]In 2007, the city of Arlington renovated six blocks of downtown's Olympic Avenue at a cost of $4.4 million, widening sidewalks, improvingstreet foliage,and adding new street lights.[38]The project was credited with helping revitalize the city's downtown, turning Olympic Avenue into a gathering place for residents and a venue for festivals.[39]

On March 22, 2014, alarge landslidenearOsodammed the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, with mud and debris covering an area of one square mile (2.6 km2). A total of 43 people were killed and nearly 50 structures destroyed.[40][41]The landslide closedState Route 530to Darrington, cutting the town off, leaving Arlington as the center of the coordinatedemergency responseto the disaster.[42]Arlington was recognized for its role in aiding victims of the disaster and hosted U.S. PresidentBarack Obamaduring his visit to the site in April.[43][44]

The city has continued to grow in the late 2010s, with newapartmentbuildings constructed in Smokey Point, including those designed asretirement communities.[45]The Cascade Industrial Center, located on 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) between Arlington and Marysville, was designated by thePuget Sound Regional Councilin 2019 and is planned to house manufacturing and other industrial uses.[46]

Subareas and neighborhoods

edit

The city of Arlington publishes a decennialcomprehensive plan,which divides the urban growth area into ten planning subareas, each containing neighborhoods and subdivisions.[52]: 4–1 [58]

  • Old Town consists of downtown Arlington and surrounding residential neighborhoods built during the early 20th century.[59]The northern reaches of Old Town include commercial areas developed during thepost-war periodthat are distinct from older buildings along Olympic Avenue.[52]: 4–6 
  • Arlington Bluff is a residential area between the Stillaguamish River floodplain and the Arlington Municipal Airport industrial center.[52]: 4–8 
  • Kent Prairie, a residential area south of Old Town, was developed in the early post-war period. The subarea also includes retail stores centered around the intersection of State Route 9 and 204th Street NE.[52]: 4–8 The area was once home to aStillaguamishvillage,[60]as well as Arlington's first schoolhouse, built in 1884.[61]
  • The designated Manufacturing Industrial Center is anindustrial districtsouthwest of Old Town, surrounding the Arlington Municipal Airport and the city's only active railroad.[52]: 2–2
