The Sultan River is a 23-mile-long river in western Washington, United States. It flows from the Cascade Mountains to the Snohomish River. Historically, the river was used by Native Americans for fishing and transportation. In the early 1900s, the river was dammed to create hydroelectric power, leading to the construction of several reservoirs and dams along its course, including Spada Lake, Culmback Dam, and City of Everett Dam. These dams and reservoirs provide power to the region and supply water to cities and farms. The Sultan River is also popular for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking. The river and its surrounding areas are home to diverse wildlife and plant species.
