Overview
Baker Heights is a broad residential area along and around Baker Heights Road on the eastern and northeastern side of Mount Vernon. The name may refer to several subdivisions, rural-residential properties, and neighborhoods rather than one uniform development.
Some Baker Heights properties are within Mount Vernon city limits, while others may be in unincorporated Skagit County or near the city’s urban-growth boundary. Municipal jurisdiction, utilities, zoning, and services must therefore be verified by address.
