[[Image:Mtlyn.jpg|thumb|left|Former Masonic Temple built in 1919 near 36th Ave W and 196th St Sw in Lynnwood.]]
Alderwood Manor was a community that is now the cities of [[Lynnwood, Washington|Lynnwood]], [[Brier, Washington|Brier]], and [[Mountlake Terrace, Washington|Mountlake Terrace]]. Alderwood Manor was a farming community where most residents [[Poultry farming|raised chickens]].<ref>{{cite book|chapter=Poor men on poor lands: the back-to-the-land movement of the early Twentieth Century|first=Richard|last=White

They turned to chicken farming and berry raising on smaller and less expensive farms.}}</ref> Alderwood Manor was connected to [[Everett, Washington|Everett]] and [[Seattle]] by the [[Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Interurban Car No. 55 |url=https://www.lynnwoodwa.gov/Community/Play-Lynnwood/Parks-Trails-and-Open-Space/Heritage-Park/Heritage-Park-Interurban-Car-No.-55 |website=www.lynnwoodwa.gov |access-date=November 7, 2021}}</ref> Most signs of Alderwood have since disappeared but in 2004 Lynnwood's Heritage Park opened. The Heritage Park has some old buildings of the Lynnwood area, such as The Wickers Building, which served as Alderwood's main store and [[post office]] from 1919 to the 1960s. Other buildings included Car 55 of the interurban.<ref>{{cite web |title=Heritage Park |url=https://www.lynnwoodwa.gov/Community/Play-Lynnwood/Parks-Trails-and-Open-Space/Heritage-Park |website=www.lynnwoodwa.gov |access-date=November 7, 2021}}</ref>

In 1979 Lynnwood's largest [[tourist attraction]], the [[Alderwood Mall]] was built.

The only Alderwood Manor building still in the same place as when it was built is the old Masonic Temple. The Manor Hardware building (originally used as a schoolhouse in the early 1900s, but which had been vacant for many years) was demolished in 2015.<ref>{{cite news|title=Manor Hardware Building Torn Down|url=http://lynnwoodtoday.com/manor-hardware-building-torn-down/|access-date=April 10, 2015|work=Lynnwood Today|publisher=My Neighborhood News Network|date=April 8, 2015}}</ref> Both locations are just off of [[Washington State Route 524|196th St SW]] in Lynnwood. Some private homes still stand in the area as well.
