History

In the 1970s Monroe became the terminus for State Route 522 (Washington) Route 522, which offers a more direct connection to Interstate 405 (Washington) 405 and larger cities to the south. This has opened the city up and helped to establish it as a true bedroom community. The economic area of the city saw a series of development as well. The population was 13,795 at the 2000 United States Census census.

Although settlers had entered the region and established homesteads close to the banks of the Skykomish River as early as the 1860s, the city of Monroe, Washington was founded in the 1880s coinciding with arrival of the Great Northern Railroad which pushed over the Cascade Mountain Range at Stevens Pass and worked its way down the Skykomish River Valley. The past decade has seen Monroe grow to unexpected new proportions as many large strip malls and major retailers have built new complexes along Highway 2.
