The Bank of Conway shows the prosperity that the Lower Skagit River region had when agricultural was the main industry of the county. Today, while agriculture is a very important of the Skagit County economy, it shares with service industries and manufacturing.
Meanwhile Conway's importance has dwindled with most of the economic centre at Mt Vernon and Burlington to the north. Meanwhile to the south the growing area of Everett and Marysville has greatly gained in prosperity.
