Woodinville
Woodinville is a city of 9,900 located 20 mi NE of Seattle in King County in the state of Washington
About
Woodinville was founded in the late 19th century by Ira Woodin, and was a small logging town along the Sammamish River until the 1960s. At that time, the growth of Seattle caught up to it and it became a leafy and desirable suburb. In 1993, Woodinville was granted city status. Currently, it is at the center of Washington's wine industry although the grapes are grown elsewhere, there are over 75 wineries in the city and surrounding areas.
Get in
Woodinville is located 1 minute off Interstate 405 Exit 23 coming from Seattle. It is also 15 minutes north of Redmond via Redmond-Woodinville Road, and 20 minutes west of Duvall via Woodinville-Duvall Road. Near downtown there is a park-and-ride with connections to metropolitan King County. However, public transportation is few and far between so a car is recommended.
Attractions
Located in and around Woodinville are Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, Columbia Winery among others. Also alcohol-related is Red Hook Brewery. Tours and winetastings are available at the majority of the wineries. The city has several parks including Wilmot Gateway Park near downtown and Cottage Lake Park near the intersection of Woodinville-Duvall and Avondale. Both host many public events during the summer, and Wilmot Park has access to the Sammamish River trail. Woodinville also is home to Molbak's Nursery, arguably the largest and most comprehensive in the Puget Sound area. Located south of downtown is The Herbfarm, Seattle's premier dining experience.
Buy
As a suburb, Woodinville has several strip malls and is home to Target, Petsmart, Barnes & Noble, Eddie Bauer, Linens 'n Things, Office Max, TJ Maxx, Home Depot, Costco as well as several grocery stores and chain fast-food eateries. Also of note are the six Starbuck's--not to mention Tully's or Seattle's Best. There are also numerous independently-owned espresso stands dotted around. As mentioned above, Molbak's is a destination with a wide variety of all things green.
