sultan waThis quiet but growing community with a population fast approaching 5000, cherishes its rich heritage as a logging, mining and agriculture hamlet.

The city is on the brink of a great transformation. Already, several hundred new residential homes, commercial and retail projects are in development process. Realizing that growth is inevitable as Greater Seattle spreads east and north, Sultan vows to take whatever steps are necessary to protect the wonderful way of life its resident have treasured for over one hundred years.

Plus, it is just minutes from winter sports / activities at Stevens Pass.
