History
Woodinville was officially incorporated on March 31, 1993. The area was first settled in 1870 at about the same time as nearby Bothell and Kenmore, in area previously inhabited by the native Sammamish people. The area was named for Ira and Susan Woodin, early settlers who arrived in Woodinville in 1871.
Like other nearby towns, Woodinville began as a logging community, became a farming center in the early decades of the 20th century, and developed into a suburb of Seattle after World War II. The growth of Bothell in the early 1990s led to plans for annexation of Woodinville, and the residents of Woodinville responded by voting for incorporation in 1992. Incorporation was official early the next year.
