Carnation (Lushootseed: tultxʷ)[5][6] is a city in King County, Washington, United States. It was historically known as Tolt and lies at the confluence of the Snoqualmie and Tolt rivers.
The city is located east of Redmond and south of Duvall on State Route 203. The population was 2,158 at the 2020 census.[3] Prior to American settlement, the area was occupied by a large village of the Snoqualmie. It was the center of Snoqualmie society in the 19th century. After the removal of the Snoqualmie to reservations, the city was resettled by Americans, who founded the city of Tolt in 1865. It became a thriving dairy town in the 20th century, eventually being renamed to Carnation in honor of the Carnation Evaporated Milk Company. After being renamed again back and forth twice, the name Carnation stuck.[7] In the 1990s, the city became a bedroom community for the Eastside of Seattle.[8]
