General Description[edit]

I really don't think that we need to have the sentance about people biding their time while property values rise. It has way too much POV in it. I know far too many people who are moving there, especially in the Alderwood Manor area to just sit and wait. If someone objects them let them do so KLRMNKY 09:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know you don't think much of your own state's Vancouver up there, but a little disambiguation might be merited. I may being nit-picky or parochial, so I'll leave it to others if they want to add B.C. or Canada in some context, since I'll admit there isn't much chance for confusion when considering the international city of Vancouver. Just a humble thought. Khirad (talk) 08:26, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Urban?[edit]

What exactly is urban about Lynnwood? It's a suburb, nothing more, and residents of Seattle's suburbs in particular (see Bellevue) seem to be in complete denial about the nature of where they live. I thank my lucky stars I moved to California. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.125.167 (talk) 22:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mall[edit]

I am of the opinion that more about Alderwood Mall is needed. --Brandon Dilbeck 17:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am of the opinion that Alderwood mall should be razed to the ground and wilderness area allowed to grow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.208.249 (talk) 05:37, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Landmarks[edit]

While near Lynnwood, Picnic Point Park is in another city, Edmonds. Kfine 07:32, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures[edit]

Why are all of the pictures so blurry? They hurt my eyes. Also you can't see anything. And they're blurry. And they're just of a street, anyway. Plus they suck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.139.209.90 (talk) 23:39, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Lynnwood, Washington/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Gives a short summary of the city. Pictures significantly improve the article but it is missing a lot of info needed to get this article to B class. Culture and Arts section is almost nonexistent along with unreferenced sections. Please re-assess if the article has seen a significant improvement. -- _Hdt83 ^Chat 05:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

High point[edit]

The high point of the Lynnwood area according to Peakbagger is Lake Serene Hill, 47°51′45″N 122°17′8″W / 47.86250°N 122.28556°W / 47.86250; -122.28556 (Lake Serene Hill) about one mile outside city limits, 645+ feet, 197+ meters. Lake Serene Hill is shown on older USGS topo maps as 638 feet. Same topo shows that the high point inside current city limits at Keeler's Korner, 164th St SW and Hwy 99, 47°51′01″N 122°17′36″W / 47.85017°N 122.29328°W / 47.85017; -122.29328 (Lynnwood high point (provisional)) is a tad over 500 feet. Considerably more than 394 given in this edit, which may have been based on earlier city limits or something. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The elevation field in the infobox is generally copied from the GNIS entry, which probably measures from a central point rather than an extreme. I'd rather not go into too much detail in the infobox. Sounder Bruce 00:01, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just noting that Seattle, which is an FA, gives a lowest and a highest. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:06, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
