Lake Steven’s City History
The local lore says the City of Lake Stevens received its name after Governor Isaac I in the year 1886 from a 160 acre homestead. Like the other Washington cities, Lake Stevens started as a mill town with it being the only one built on the shore of a lake. Twice the mill burned down and shortly after the second rebuilding it was dismantled; now only pylons mark its location. Since then the City of Lake Stevens thrived through localized business to sustain and eventually grow into the lake community we now love and enjoy.
