Sultan is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States, located where the Sultan River flows into the Skykomish. The population was 4,450 at the April 2006 census. There is an annual 2-day street fair held in July, known as the 'Sultan Shindig'. Carnival rides, street vendors and logging games are a popular part of the fair.

History

Sultan was originally settled around 1880, but not officially incorporated until June 28, 1905. According to local tradition, the town is named after a Native American chief who lived in the location when it was settled. There is some debate as to how his name came about, but it is likely that his original name was difficult to pronounce, and the tranliteration to 'Sultan John' was easier for everyone involved.
