Neighborhood

Growth in the Mount Baker Neighborhood has further defined the suburban character of this once semi-rural neighborhood. This growth has occurred in all areas of the neighborhood and has included commercial, residential, and some industrial uses.

Commercial development is located at the intersection of Sunset Drive and Interstate 5 on the western edge of the neighborhood, as well as in the center of the neighborhood at the Woburn Street/Barkley Boulevard intersection.

New multi-family units have been constructed along the Sunset Drive corridor, while the eastern portion of the neighborhood has been developed with a mix of both multi-family and single family homes.

New industrial development has been limited; however 640 acres of industrially zoned land was annexed to the city in 1998 and included in the Mt. Baker Neighborhood.

The suburban characteristics of the neighborhood, as well as the presence of open space areas, trails and view corridors continue to be valued by neighborhood residents.
