Why Mount Vernon Homeowners Choose a Local Painter
From historic downtown to newer neighborhoods above the valley, Mount Vernon is the heart of our Skagit County service area. Our wet Pacific Northwest weather is hard on paint, so every proposal starts with prep.
Wet winters and damp Skagit County air accelerate mildew and coating failure, especially on north-facing and shaded walls.
Mount Vernon has plenty of homes built before 1978, where old coatings need careful, lead-safe prep. As an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, our crews handle scraping and sanding on older siding the safe, legal way — and we schedule every exterior around real Skagit County weather windows.

Log Jams, Courthouses, and Tulips: A Short History of Mount Vernon
Jasper Gates and Joseph Dwelley settled the riverbank in 1870, and Harrison Clothier arrived in 1877 to teach school and open a store with his former student E.G. English. They laid out the town while it was still heavy timber and named it for George Washington's estate. A massive ancient log jam in the Skagit kept big boats out, so mail came down by canoe, and by 1881 the permanent population was 75.
Things turned in November 1884, when Mount Vernon took the county seat from La Conner. The Great Northern laid its line through town in 1891, the city incorporated on July 5, 1893, and the brick courthouse from that year still stands on Main Street. Fires in 1891, 1900, and 1903 took the original wooden downtown, the 1894 flood brought the first dike, and the interurban to Bellingham opened in 1912.
The tulips came later. Bellingham held a tulip festival from 1920 to 1930, then freezes and the Depression pushed the growers south into Skagit County, where William Roozen bought the Washington Bulb Company in 1955. Every April the valley fills with visitors, and the city of 35,219 hosts the street fair downtown.
For a painter, Mount Vernon runs from the riverfront downtown to Little Mountain's hillside streets, a historic core next to the valley's newest neighborhoods. We paint the full spectrum, river-valley damp included.
