Chimneys in Lynnwood
Alderwood Manor was started as a planned community in 1917, and the Wickers Building in Heritage Park dates from 1919. But the city grew slowly at first. Residential development was slow in the early 1950s because there were no sewers, and Alderwood Mall did not open until 1979.
That puts most Lynnwood homes in the 1960s and later. Lynnwood sits on a plateau 300 to 600 feet above Puget Sound, with several hills and valleys. Half of its 15,401 occupied homes are rented, so for many homes it is worth asking who last had the chimney checked. If you rent or own one, an inspection is worth asking for.

Questions from Lynnwood homeowners
I rent a home in Lynnwood. Who should check the chimney?
The owner is usually responsible for repairs, but you can ask for an inspection before you use the fireplace.
Are Lynnwood homes mostly masonry or factory-built?
Both. Older homes tend to have brick chimneys, and newer ones often have factory-built metal flues. The type decides what to check.
