Stanwood Washington sits at the northern edge of Snohomish County near the Stillaguamish River delta on Puget Sound. The community is in a low-elevation agricultural area vulnerable to Cascadia Subduction Zone tsunami inundation. The 2021 Atmospheric River flooding severely affected the Stillaguamish River valley. Snohomish County earthquake risk is significant and the community's low elevation coastal location creates compound flood and tsunami risk.
