The Puget Mill Company leased out its demonstration farm in 1933 and ceased operations at Alderwood Manor later in the decade, amid declining sales during the Great Depression. At the same time, the opening of the Pacific Highway (modern-day Highway 99) in 1927 and the decline of Interurban service in the 1930s shifted the center of economic growth west near Scriber Lake. Seattle realtor Karl O'Brien filed a plat along Highway 99 at 196th Street Southwest in 1937, naming the development "Lynnwood" after his wife Lynn.[14] Nearby businesses adopted the name during the 1940s, leading to the formal use of "Lynnwood" by the chamber of commerce in 1946, instead of the suggested "West Alderwood".[6][15]

The opening of Interstate 5 in 1965 moved the commercial center of Lynnwood east towards Alderwood Manor, which culminated in the proposed construction of a large shopping center in 1968.[6][18]: 331–332 The 130-acre (53 ha) shopping center, named Alderwood Mall and developed by Allied Stores,[32] was put on hold during the local recession of the early 1970s and was later sold to shopping mall developer Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. in 1976.[33][34] Alderwood Mall opened on October 4, 1979,[35] sparking a major retail and residential boom in the Lynnwood area in the early 1980s.[36] The Swamp Creek Interchange at Interstate 5 and Interstate 405 was completed in 1984, creating a new regional connection to Alderwood and Lynnwood from the Eastside region of King County.[37]
During the 1980s, Lynnwood gained its first of several
Lynnwood began developing plans for a "city center" near the Alderwood Mall area in the 1980s.

The Lynnwood Police Department has 70 officers and 38 support staff, overseen by chief Tom Davis since his appointment to the position in August 2016.
The 2008 rape of a teenage woman in Lynnwood, part of a serial rape case, was the subject of "An Unbelievable Story of Rape", an article published by ProPublica and the Marshall Project and the winner of a Pulitzer Prize. It was adapted into the true crime miniseries Unbelievable for Netflix in 2019.[79][80] Between 2008 and 2012, Lynnwood police had labeled 21 percent of rape cases as "unfounded", five times the national average for similarly sized municipalities.[81] The victim, known as "Marie", was initially dismissed by detectives with the Lynnwood police department before the assailant, a serial rapist, was charged and convicted for the rapes of five more women. The city government agreed to a $150,000 settlement in the victim's lawsuit in 2014 and later changed the police department's procedures on sexual assault investigations.[79][82]

Media
From 1958 to 2012, Lynnwood and southern Snohomish County were served by a weekly newspaper, The Enterprise. The newspaper was acquired by The Everett Herald in 1996 and renamed to The Weekly Herald in 2011.[111] The Weekly Herald published its final issue on August 29, 2012, due to revenue issues.[111] The city is home to Lynnwood Today, a local blog that was established in March 2010 and is affiliated with The Seattle Times;[112][113] it was acquired by My Edmonds News, which also owns MLTnews, in 2013.[114]

Lynnwood opened its municipal public library on October 1, 1960, in a repurposed home adjacent to the city hall;[119][120] the city contracted services to the Snohomish County Library district, which became Sno-Isle Libraries two years later when it merged with its Island County counterpart.[120][121] The library moved in June 1963 to a 1,600-square-foot (150 m2) space at the Thomas Center strip mall[122] on 196th Street Southwest to accommodate an expansion of the city hall.[123][124] The library relocated again in 1971 to a 7,860-square-foot (730 m2) building at the civic center that opened on February 22.[125][126] Amid increasing traffic from Lynnwood's growing population, the library building was expanded in 1984 to 14,000 square feet (1,300 m2), then expanded again in 1999 to 26,000 square feet (2,400 m2).[127][128] Lynnwood residents voted in 2006 to be annexed into the Sno-Isle Libraries district, also approving an expansion and modernization that took place in 2013.[129] The library is the most-visited in the Sno-Isle system, with 504,000 annual visits as of 2012[update].[130]
Historical preservation
Lynnwood has one property listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP): Keeler's Korner, an automobile service station built in 1927 on Highway 99 at 164th Street Southwest.[131][132]
The Alderwood Manor Heritage Association was formed in 1991 after the demolition of the oldest home in Alderwood Manor, located east of Lynnwood city limits.[133] The preservation group succeeded in saving other early 20th century homes that were slated for demolition during a highway expansion, moving them to a new, city-owned park. The $1.8 million Heritage Park, opened in 2004, includes the Tudor-style, timber-framed Wickers Building, originally built in 1919; a cottage built for the Alderwood Manor superintendent in 1917; and a restored Interurban trolley car.[134][135]
The city has two other buildings determined to be eligible for a NRHP listing: the Masonic Temple, built in 1921; and a former schoolhouse built in 1917. Both buildings are located near the city center southwest of Alderwood Mall.[136]
