The population was 10,540 at the 2010 census. It is included in the Mount Vernon–Anacortes, Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryOfficially incorporated on December 19, 1898, Sedro-Woolley was formed from neighboring rival towns known as Bug and Woolley in Skagit County, northwestern Washington, {{convert|25|mi|km}} inland from the Puget Sound, {{convert|40|mi|km}} south of the border with Canada and {{convert|65|mi|km}} north of Seattle.[3] Four British bachelors, led by David Batey, homesteaded the area in 1878, the time logjam obstructions were cleared downriver at the site of Mount Vernon.[4] In 1884–85, Batey built a store and home for the arrival of the Mortimer Cook family from Santa Barbara, California where Cook had been mayor for two terms. Cook intended to name his new Pacific Northwest town Bug due to the number of mosquitos present, but his wife protested along with a handful of other local wives. Cook was already the namesake for the town Cook's Ferry on the Thompson River in British Columbia. With "Bug" being so unpopular, Cook derived a town name from Spanish; knowing "cedro" was the word for cedar, he replaced one letter to make the name unique, settling on "Sedro".[5] Sedro, on the northern banks of the Skagit River, proved susceptible to floods. In 1899, Northern Pacific Railway developer Nelson Bennett began laying track from the town of Fairhaven, {{convert|25|mi|km}} northwest on Bellingham Bay, and real estate developer Norman R. Kelley platted a new town of Sedro on high ground a mile northwest of Cook's site. The Fairhaven and Southern Railroad arrived in Sedro on Christmas Eve 1899, in time for Bennett to receive a performance bonus from the towns at both ends, and a month after Washington became the 42nd state in the Union.[6] Within months, two more railroads crossed the F&S road bed a half mile north of new Sedro, forming a triangle where 11 trains eventually arrived daily. Railroad developer Philip A. Woolley moved his family from Elgin, Illinois, to Sedro in December 1899 and bought land around the triangle. He built the Skagit River Lumber & Shingle Mill next to where the railroads crossed and he started his namesake company town there that was based on sales of railroad ties to the three rail companies, including the Seattle and Northern Railway (forerunner of the Great Northern Railway) and the Northern Pacific Railroad. Meanwhile, a fourth town rose nearby when the F&S laid rails on a "wye" that led northeast from Sedro about four and a half miles to coal mines. Bennett bought the mines, along with Montana mining financier Charles X. Larrabee, and they soon sold their interests to James J. Hill, owner of the Great Northern. The resulting ore soon turned out to be more suitable for coking coal and a town began there named Cokedale. Cokedale faded in importance when the mine declined and the other towns all merged on December 19, 1898, as Sedro-Woolley.[7] On May 15, 1922, a large circus elephant known as Tusko escaped from the Al G. Barnes Circus, which was making one of its stops in Sedro-Woolley, at that time. The elephant stomped his way through the little logging town and right into local history, demolishing fences, knocking over laundry lines and trees, telephone poles, and a Model T along the way. After logging and coal-mining declined, the major employers and industries became the nearby Northern State Hospital (a mental-health facility)[8] and Skagit Steel & Iron Works, which rose from the back room of a local hardware store to become a major supplier of implements and parts for logging and railroad customers and which manufactured machines and parts for the war effort in World War II and artillery shells, starting in 1953. By 1990, that company was gone and the hospital was closed but new industry, including robotics and aerospace, is developing north of town and on the campus of the old hospital.[9][10] GovernmentThe City of Sedro-Woolley is a non-charter code city that operates under a Mayor-Council form of government with seven councilmembers.[11] Six councilmembers are elected by wards and one is elected at-large.[12] Each councilmember serves a four-year term.[13] The mayor is elected at-large every four years and is responsible for the executive functions of the city.[14] The mayor appoints a city supervisor, subject to confirmation by the city council, who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the city.[15] The police chief, fire chief, finance director, IT director, planning director, public works director, and offender work program director report to the city supervisor.[16] The municipal judge is appointed by the mayor, subject to confirmation of the city council, and operates independently of the other branches of government.[17] The city librarian reports to the library board.[18] Sedro-Woolley is a full-service city with its own police department, fire department, wastewater treatment plan, solid waste operation, storm water division, street department, parks department and administration. The city maintains a large number of public parks and open spaces such as Hammer Heritage Square in downtown Sedro-Woolley. Riverfront Park situated on the north bank of the Skagit River is the signature park. It consists of nearly {{convert|60|acre|m2}} and includes picnic shelters, baseball fields, RV park, amphitheater, and an off-leash dog park. Every year on the 4th of July the city celebrates with a festive carnival, and hosts the Loggerodeo parade. EducationPublic schools are operated by the Sedro-Woolley School District whose offices are located here. Sedro Woolley school district elementary schools includes Evergreen elementary, Samish elementary, Mary - Purcelle elementary, Central elementary, Clear lake elementary, Big lake elementary, and Lyman elementary. CultureSedro-Woolley is the home of Loggerodeo, a celebration staged annually since the mid-1930s close to the Fourth of July. The annual event is well known in Western Washington and one of the oldest rural summer celebrations in the state with many of the events dating back more than 100 years. Loggerodeo features a carnival, foot-race, log drive, old-time logging show, championship rodeo, children's parade, the annual Fourth of July parade, and an invitation-only chainsaw carving competition. Favorite chainsaw carved log creations from the carving competitions of past years line the downtown Sedro-Woolley area. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|3.81|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all of it land.[19] It is halfway between Seattle and Vancouver. ClimateSedro-Woolley has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Csb) according to the Köppen climate classification system, but nearly qualifies as having an Oceanic climate (Cfb) due to its less pronounced drying trend in summer, as compared with elsewhere in western Washington. {{Weather box|location = Sedro-Woolley |single line = Y | Jan record high F = 67 | Feb record high F = 74 | Mar record high F = 82 | Apr record high F = 94 | May record high F = 95 | Jun record high F = 99 | Jul record high F = 98 | Aug record high F = 97 | Sep record high F = 91 | Oct record high F = 86 | Nov record high F = 76 | Dec record high F = 74 | year record high F = 99 | Jan high F = 44.4 | Feb high F = 48.7 | Mar high F = 53.3 | Apr high F = 59.6 | May high F = 65.6 | Jun high F = 70.1 | Jul high F = 74.9 | Aug high F = 74.9 | Sep high F = 69.2 | Oct high F = 60.5 | Nov high F = 50.8 | Dec high F = 45.6 | year high F = 59.8 | Jan low F = 32.4 | Feb low F = 33.9 | Mar low F = 36.3 | Apr low F = 39.9 | May low F = 44.3 | Jun low F = 48.7 | Jul low F = 50.4 | Aug low F = 50.5 | Sep low F = 47.2 | Oct low F = 42.4 | Nov low F = 37.4 | Dec low F = 33.9 | year low F = 41.5 | Jan record low F = -2 | Feb record low F = -1 | Mar record low F = 8 | Apr record low F = 25 | May record low F = 25 | Jun record low F = 30 | Jul record low F = 31 | Aug record low F = 34 | Sep record low F = 28 | Oct record low F = 20 | Nov record low F = 3 | Dec record low F = 1 | year record low F = -2 | Jan precipitation inch = 5.75 | Feb precipitation inch = 4.21 | Mar precipitation inch = 4.32 | Apr precipitation inch = 3.56 | May precipitation inch = 2.86 | Jun precipitation inch = 2.56 | Jul precipitation inch = 1.45 | Aug precipitation inch = 1.71 | Sep precipitation inch = 3.05 | Oct precipitation inch = 4.61 | Nov precipitation inch = 6.48 | Dec precipitation inch = 6.05 | year precipitation inch = 46.6 | Jan precipitation days = 19 | Feb precipitation days = 16 | Mar precipitation days = 18 | Apr precipitation days = 15 | May precipitation days = 13 | Jun precipitation days = 11 | Jul precipitation days = 6 | Aug precipitation days = 7 | Sep precipitation days = 11 | Oct precipitation days = 15 | Nov precipitation days = 20 | Dec precipitation days = 20 | Jan snow inch = 3.3 | Feb snow inch = 1.3 | Mar snow inch = 1.4 | Apr snow inch = 0 | May snow inch = 0 | Jun snow inch = 0 | Jul snow inch = 0 | Aug snow inch = 0 | Sep snow inch = 0 | Oct snow inch = 0 | Nov snow inch = 0.7 | Dec snow inch = 2.2 | year snow inch = 8.9 |source 1 = [20] |date=November 2015 }} Demographics{{US Census population|1900= 885 |1910= 2129 |1920= 2379 |1930= 2719 |1940= 2954 |1950= 3299 |1960= 3705 |1970= 4598 |1980= 6110 |1990= 6031 |2000= 8658 |2010= 10540 |estyear=2017 |estimate=11838 |estref=[21] |align-fn=center |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[22] 2015 Estimate[23] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[24] of 2010, there were 10,540 people, 3,995 households, and 2,609 families residing in the city.
