There were controversies a while back (circa 1990) about the teaching of evolution in Stanwood Schools. The Camano Chapel (on nearby Camano Island) is pretty emphatically creationist, and backed creationist school board candidates. Here's an account God's Country by cartoonist Mark Zingarelli, who (at least at the time) was living there (and who may deserve an article: This piece appeared in a national magazine, Mother Jones, and I've seen his work in quite a few places, but I'm not sure how well known he is outside of Western Washington). - Jmabel | Talk 02:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

@ SounderBruce: Sorry for the delay!
@ SounderBruce:
Honestly, not much to really worry about in this article. Good job. AmericanAir88 ( talk) 03:06, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

@ SounderBruce: Pass. Excellent work on the article. Sorry about the vague reviews, I have adjusted my wording to ensure future reviews go smoothly. Highly recommend FA. AmericanAir88 ( talk) 13:21, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
@ Rainyda Let's discuss it here. I think there is a potential for adding a sentence or a neutral POV mention somewhere in the article, but I agree with @ SounderBruce, a long paragraph in the lead is not really equal to the weight of the topic. Maybe you have thoughts on its inclusion SounderBruce? PersusjCP ( talk) 19:19, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
Both sources, the Tulalip Lushootseed Department website and the book Washington, West of the Cascades, use sdᶻəlgʷas as a 1:1 translation for Stanwood. The website indicates that it is the word used today for Stanwood and the surrounding area, and the book indicates that it was the word used back then for the area.
Looking at the word itself, the name refers to the land and river at Stanwood, not the original village. The original village just happened to be located at the place called sdᶻəlgʷas. In other instances, this is consistent with the discussion of the Snoqualmie settlement at
Carnation, Washington. The modern name in Lushootseed for Carnation/Tolt is tultxʷ, as cited. The village there had its own name, x̌alalʔtxʷ (specifically referring to the main longhouse). The river, and the area at the mouth (and thus the modern city, which is how names in Lushootseed tend to be transferred over history), are called tultxʷ, not x̌alalʔtxʷ. I hope this makes sense. There are exceptions to this general pattern, such as Auburn. Following the previous pattern, Auburn would be named something like sbəbalqʷuʔ. Auburn however is named sladə in Lushootseed, after one of the original settlers who lived there (and the later, now obsolete name, Slaughter).
I don't have a citation for the name's meaning, hence why I didn't include anything about it, but the name's meaning refers to the land and river/slough at Stanwood. The name means "a pair going around/over" (from s-√dᶻal=gʷas, NOM-go over/around-SUFFIX_pair). This is because the river at stanwood, going upriver, comes together past the island to "go around" the point of land directly at Stanwood's downtown.

(Page 534) The following are some of the local aboriginal names used at Tulalip for various places about Puget Sound:
- Stanwood, Sŭl-gwähs', literally a strait or slough.
sdᶻəlgʷas : Stanwood
