Sultan is a small, charming community situated where the Wallace, Skykomish, and Sultan rivers meet. It offers stunning mountain views and a rich history.

This hill is a bit of a grind, but worth it to get to the Cross-Kirkland Corridor. It will be even better when they finally open the last few miles of the old rail line and connect this to downtown Woodinville!
