Sedro-Woolley - remembering the beginning

Happy Birthday, Sedro-Woolley! 
Incorporated December 19, 1898!

Monthly coffee hour - Tuesday December 27th

Two days after Christmas we'll have our monthly coffee hour, and rumors abound that folks from out of town will be attending!  So all of you who are coming to Skagit County and surrounds for the holidays, be sure to get us on your calendar!  And those locals who would like to see visiting class members, this is your big chance!

Same place - Starbucks at exit 232, from 5ish to 7ish.  See you there! 

Sedro-Woolley Historical photos on the Internet!

There is a GREAT collection of vintage photos of Sedro-Woolley now on the Internet! 

Even some from the 1960's, that we, being vintage ourselves, would recognize!

The page with the interactive map and photos is here:

Many thanks to City Librarian Debra Peterson and Museum Director Carolyn Freeman for making this donor's photos into a wonderful Internet resource.

I'm still looking for a photo of my house from the early days - 1898 or shortly after - but, alas, I haven't seen one here.
