LOCATION

Mount Vernon serves as the commercial and economic hub of Skagit County, strategically located along the I-5 corridor between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. With a population of approximately 36,000 residents, the city anchors a broader regional trade area of roughly 130,000 people, functioning as the primary retail and service center for the Skagit Valley.


Mount Vernon draws consumers from surrounding communities including Burlington, Sedro-Woolley, and other nearby population centers, reinforcing its role as the dominant retail node in the region. This broad trade area, combined with limited competing retail corridors, supports steady demand for goods and services.


With direct access to Interstate 5 and regional connectivity throughout the Puget Sound and into British Columbia, Mount Vernon benefits from strong accessibility and long-term growth fundamentals. Ongoing population growth and its position as a supply-constrained retail market continue to support durable tenant demand and investment stability.
