This article is great, but it fails to mention the boom in economy the town has recently seen with the building of a Movie Theater and several car dealerships in town. It also fails to talk about the Correctional Center, the new High School, or how completely boring it is.

:Indeed.  Monroe is a prison town, there are I believe 4 different prisons there, much of the people living there probably work in the prisons. --[[User:Xyzzyplugh|Xyzzyplugh]] 02:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

While it is true Monroe may not have a rich and lusterous history dating back to colonial times, I doubt it's most worthy accomplishments were having a few scenes from two completely forgettable box office bombs (''The Ring 2'', ''Butterfly Effect'') and one mediocre (''The Ring''... which by the way was primarily shot in Astoria Oregon along with it's sequel) shot there, as well as playing host to a production company that few outside the Stipek family has likely ever heard of. (No offense intended.) Would somebody with some actual knowledge of this town please edit this page for the rest of us?

I don't think it's fair to insult this town by calling it ''boring''. If you were to hop in your car and drive south for about 20 minutes you'd run into this tiny little town called '''Seattle'''... maybe you've heard of it? Is it now a requirement that every town in America have 15 nightclubs, 11 movie theatres and 3 full-scale carnivals lest it be labed "boring?" Monroe is a nice town to live in and it's really not any different than any other residential suburb in the US. Leave it alone please.

==Filled in History section==

I added some to the History page, hopefully this will flesh it out better. 06:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

WOW! I haven't checked this page in a couple of months, fantastic job to whomever took the time to clean it up and write a decent article here.

You're welcome.  Monroe actually has a lot of historic resources on the web and it was easy to research and write. 06:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== Suggestions ==

Hi fellow editors,
I am putting some suggestions here to complete an assignment for a class I'm taking. 

The information in the History section is interesting, but there should be citations to back information such as the part with Mr. and Mrs. Shine Peters helping with the fair in 1941. The inclusion of when the Evergreen State Fairgrounds were built would be great as well, to add more of a context to the article. 

I would also include information pertaining to Lake Tye (which is probably named for the same reason as Monroe's original name of Tye City) which is a man-made lake and has become an important social gathering place for people in Monroe. There is a playground, fishing, and a skate park there. Some city events are held there such as Music in the Park and National Night Out. 

In the References section, the references from the Monroe Historical Society are all coming up as page 404: Not Found. The link for reference 9, for the Monroe Dream Revitalization Program, also is not functioning. [[User:Jennydale17|Jennydale17]] ([[User talk:Jennydale17|talk]]) 03:58, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Setting for ''The Ring''? ==

Near as I can tell, ''[[The Ring (film)]]'' was filmed in Monroe but not set there in the story. ☆ [[User:Bri|Bri]] ([[User talk:Bri|talk]]) 03:14, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
:Looks to be that way. I must have misread the source at the time.

== Orphaned references in [[:Monroe, Washington]] ==

I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Monroe, Washington]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

<b>Reference named "Pop-Estimate":</b><ul>
<li>From [[Sultan, Washington]]: {{cite web |title=Annual Estimates of the Resident Population: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2017 |url=https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/PEP/2017/PEPANNRES/0400000US53.16200 |publisher=United States Census Bureau |accessdate=January 5, 2019}}</li>

</ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. [[User:AnomieBOT|AnomieBOT]][[User talk:AnomieBOT|<span style="color:#880">⚡</span>]] 14:51, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

== the temperature ==

(please pardon any poor manners, I have never edited before.)
it says that the record high temperature is 102 F, in 2009. I'm not sure exactly how hot it was, but a few summers ago it was definitely hotter. should this be changed? [[User:Ratthewmhynas|Ratthewmhynas]] ([[User talk:Ratthewmhynas|talk]]) 20:12, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
:{{ping|Ratthewmhynas}} Welcome to Wikipedia. If there is a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] with a new temperature record, then it can be added. The existing WRCC source recorded all extremes from 1929 to 2016; the [https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/services/data/v1?dataset=daily-summaries&startDate=2000-11-01&endDate=2022-11-30&stations=USC00455525&format=pdf NOAA database] doesn't have any temperatures over 102 in 2009.
