Our Lead Industry
Agriculture, one of the foundations of our past, remains
important in Stanwood. Seed, produce and meat production are
all primary industries in north Snohomish county. Major
players in agriculture include Alf Christianson Seed Company
and Twin City Foods. Christianson's ranks among the nation's
largest independent seed growers. Twin City Foods, the
city's largest employer, is a major national wholesaler of
frozen vegetables. Many small, local growers represented by
Farmer Markets during the summer add to the attractiveness
and economy of Stanwood.
The Business Community
In addition to the agricultural economy, the Stanwood School
District, Josephine Retirement Center, Schenk Packing, QFC
Food Center, Twin City Foods and Haggen Food and Pharmacy
contribute greatly to the overall employment of the area.
