Origin Notes and History of Greenwood
References to Greenwood that document the origin of its place name
SKYKOMISH RIVER, rises in the Cascade Range and flows through the southern part of Snohomish County. Near Monroe it joins with the Snoqualmie River forming the Snohomish River. The Bureau of American Ethnology says the Indian name comes from skaikh, meaning "inland" and mish, "people". (Handbook of American Indians, Volume II., page 591.) There have been many spellings of the word. Captain George B. McClellan referred to it as "Skywhamish." (Pacific Railroad Reports, Volume I., chapter 18, page 200.)
GREENWOOD, on the south side of Nooksack River, near Lynden, Whatcom County. The name arose from the schoolhouse being surrounded with evergreen trees. (Mrs. Phoebe N. Judson, Lynden, in Names MSS., Letter 187.)
