The first family to arrive in the settlement of Woodinville were the Woodin family. Next to the banks of Squak Slough, they homesteaded some 160 acres. Although the slough served as a highway for early settlers because there weren't any roads, the name Squak Slough was later changed to the Sammamish River. The primary employers in the area were logging and lumber mills. The mills in Woodinville included the Woodinville Shingle Mill, and the Saginaw and Machias Sawmills.
It is important to appreciate that the Sammamish River was completely different in the 1800's than it is today, in order fully understand the early development of Woodinville. It was twice as long as it is today and was approximately 30 miles long between Kenmore and Redmond. It was a twisting, shallow ribbon of water that frequently flooded the valley that surrounded it. The railroads didn't arrive until the late 1800's and there weren't any roads into the region. As a result, during the early years of Woodinville the main source of transportation was the river. In 1876, the Mud Hen was the first steamboat to travel the river. The Squak started a transportation service on the slough between Lake Sammamish and Lake Washington twice a week that stopped at many different locations including the Woodin's home in 1884. Up until 1892, this small steamboat was a successful operation.
Between late 1887 and early 1888, the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad came to Woodinville, which made traveling on the slough something less of a necessity. However, steamboats continued to ply travel the river into the early 1900's. It is believed that in 1904, the steamboats ceased stopping in Woodinville. However, up until 1916, when Lake Washington was lowered almost nine feet due to the construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, steamboat traffic continued to Bothell. The river became too shallow to be used by steamboats, although it was mute since the automobile was introduced in the area by then. The river became popular for boat races after it was no longer used to float logs to local mills.
Up until 1888, when the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad arrived, the community of Woodinville didn't develop much. The business district in the early days revolved around the railroad depot, was located where the railroad split at Woodinville. Bridges, roads, saloon, and stores were constructed for the first time.
When Lake Washington was lowered in 1916, flooding in the valley became practically nonexistence, and the land was cleared, dairy and produce farming and extended across the Sammamish Valley. The DeYoung Produce Packing Shed processed much of the produce, which was then shipped to the Seattle and the East Coast by railroad. Later, this packing company came to be known as the Lowell DeYoung Feed Mill that, up until the 1980's, continued to operate. Some of the early dairy farms were the Hollywood Farms owned by Fred Stimson and the Millview Dairy Farm owned by Jess Brown.
The first Sunday School, school, and post office in Woodinville were held in the home of Ira and Susan Woodin. In 1892, the Calkins family donated the property for a one room schoolhouse as Woodinville grew. These days, the property is the current location of the Old Woodinville School/Carol Edwards Center. In 1906, this building was replaced with a two room schoolhouse, which burned down from a chimney fire two in 1908.
At this location the first brick schoolhouse east of Lake Washington was constructed in 1909. In 1935, the WPA (Work Project Administration) enlarged the schoolhouse and in 1948 expanded it to its current size. The schoolhouse came to be known as the Woodinville Annex to house an overflow of students and was no longer an elementary school during the 1960's. The former schoolhouse served as the Woodinville City Hall between 1993 and 2001.
These days, Woodinville is an upscale suburb of Seattle that has an ever increasing population, which between 2000 and 2010 increased to 10,938 people, which represents a 19% increase. However, since its incorporation in 1993, the total area has stayed the same at 5.7 sq. mi. Woodinville is an affluent community, which in 2009 had an estimated median household income of $86,925, which compares to $56,548 for the state of Washington and $67,468 for King County. The value of homes is also greater than the state and county norms, although they haven't escaped from the recent downtown in the housing market.
The community has been served by the Woodinville Weekly newspaper since 1976. This newspaper was started by a woman named Carol Edwards. Ms. Edwards came to be known by many as the Mother of Woodinville. She organized the Woodinville All Fool's Day Parade in 1978, which is a gala festival that is usually held on the Saturday prior to April Fool's Day. The parade sometimes draws 10,000 spectators and participants, many of whom dress in costumes for a competition for prizes emphasizing tomfoolery, such as the most foolish band, the most foolish float, and the most foolish drill team.
In 1975, the Woodinville Heritage Society was established to perpetuate, preserve, and acquire the historical artifacts of the greater Woodinville region, in addition to educating and distributing historical information those who are interested in the history of the community of Woodinville.
