Fermata a Snohomish ツ

La città di Snohomish si trova alla confluenza del fiume Pilchuck con il fiume Snohomish. 

I primi coloni dell'area furono gli Sdohobsh, pescatori, cacciatori e raccoglitori nativi americani che erano una suddivisione della tribù dei nativi americani di lingua Snohomish Lushootseed. 

Nel 1855, i membri della tribù Snohomish erano presenti a Mukilteo per firmare il Trattato di Point Elliott. 

Lo scopo del trattato era risolvere le controversie sulla terra in cui nativi e coloni erano immediatamente adiacenti l'uno all'altro e risolvere altre questioni con i nativi americani. Il trattato prevedeva l'istituzione di quattro riserve. Quando i coloni bianchi iniziarono ad arrivare alla confluenza dei fiumi Snohomish e Pilchuck alla fine del 1850, la maggior parte dei nativi americani si era trasferita nella riserva di Tulalip vicino a Marysville.

I primi coloni bianchi in quella che oggi è la città di Snohomish includevano Heil Barnes e Edson Cady: il loro obiettivo era stabilire un insediamento alla foce del fiume Pilchuck, dove sfocia nel fiume Snohomish. 

Cady rivendicò la sua terra e chiese un permesso postale per Cadyville. Nel frattempo, Barnes rivendicava Emory C. Ferguson proprio accanto a quella di Cady; nel 1859, fece spedire un cottage in barca da Steilacoom alla terra rivendicata e lo rimontò per l'uso di Ferguson. Quel cottage è ancora in piedi. Ferguson arrivò un anno dopo, nel marzo/aprile 1860, e stabilì un mercantile a Cadyville.

Con l'arrivo di più coloni nella regione, la contea di Snohomish fu fondata il 14 gennaio 1861. Il primo capoluogo della contea fu Mukilteo, ma nel luglio 1861 fu trasferito a Cadyville dopo un voto popolare.

Woodbury Sinclair acquistò la quota di Cady nel 1864 con l'intenzione di aprire un negozio a sostegno della fiorente industria del legname della zona. Quando sua moglie, Mary Low Sinclair, arrivò a Cadyville il 1 maggio 1865, divenne la prima donna bianca residente permanente di Cadyville. 

Nel 1871, Ferguson avanzò la sua affermazione dando un numero alle strade che correvano da est a ovest e una lettera ai viali nord-sud; un anno dopo, Mary e Woodbury Sinclair firmarono il reclamo che avevano acquistato da Cady, e diedero un nome ai viali dopo gli alberi.

Cadyville divenne nota come Snohomish nel 1871, quando il plat di Snohomish City Western Part si unì alla rivendicazione orientale di Ferguson con la rivendicazione occidentale di Sinclair a Union Avenue. Ferguson è spesso chiamato il padre di Snohomish mentre Mary Low Sinclair è ricordata come la madre delle scuole di Snohomish.

Originariamente, Snohomish fu fondata per sostenere la comunità agricola circostante, ma presto divenne anche una città di disboscamento a causa delle fitte foreste di Douglas Firs della zona. 

I fratelli Alanson, Elhanan e Hyrcanus Blackman migrarono a Snohomish dal Maine e stabilirono il loro primo campo di disboscamento nel 1875 su quello che allora era chiamato Stillaguamish Lake, ora è noto come Blackmans Lake. 

Hyrcanus divenne il primo sindaco della città dopo un'elezione speciale nel giugno 1890 per incorporare la nuova città (tuttavia, cinque mesi dopo, durante le elezioni generali di novembre, Ferguson fu eletto primo sindaco a tempo pieno di Snohomish). La prima segheria di Snohomish iniziò le sue operazioni sul fiume Pilchuck nel 1876. Nel 1878, i Blackman aprirono la loro segheria che si trovava sul fiume Snohomish. 

Nel 1884, 700 persone chiamarono Snohomish casa: c'erano un tribunale, un edificio scolastico, sei saloon e una chiesa in città. 

La stazione ferroviaria di Snohomish fu costruita nel 1888. Il primo treno ad arrivare in città fu un treno Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railway. L'illuminazione elettrica seguì l'arrivo del primo treno nel 1889. Nel 1893, fu completata la Great Northern Railway da St. Paul a Seattle, inclusa una fermata a Snohomish.

Nel 1897, il capoluogo della contea si trasferì a Everett dopo un'elezione contestata.

Intorno alla fine del secolo, l'economia di Snohomish si è diversificata per includere l'industria conserviera, poiché il suolo e il clima dell'area sono ideali per la coltivazione di frutta.

Una Carnegie Library fu costruita nel 1910 sul sito di una scuola con una sola stanza in Cedar Avenue. Il Carnegie Building esiste ancora, anche se non ospita più la biblioteca; è l'edificio pubblico più antico della città.

Nel 1911, molti degli edifici di First Street furono distrutti da un incendio che si estese lungo le Avenue B e C; furono in gran parte sostituiti da edifici in mattoni e muratura.

Uno dei maggiori datori di lavoro, all'inizio di Snohomish, era la Bickford Ford in First Street, fondata da Lawrence Bickford nel 1934. La concessionaria è ancora aperta e a conduzione familiare, sebbene si sia trasferita dal distretto storico di Snohomish a Bickford Avenue all'estremità settentrionale della città. 

Snohomish apprezza e celebra la sua storia attraverso vari gruppi dedicati alla conservazione del suo patrimonio e del suo carattere unico. Negli anni '60 c'è stata una spinta per preservare il carattere storico di Snohomish e per incoraggiare la vitalità commerciale dell'Historic Business District. La Snohomish Historical Society è stata fondata nel 1969 e ha sede presso il Blackman House Museum, la vecchia casa di Hyrcanus Blackman. Il legname locale, il primo lavorato dai Blackman, fu utilizzato per costruire la casa nel 1878.  

Nel 1973, Snohomish è stata la prima città della contea ad approvare un'ordinanza che istituisce un distretto storico, che è elencato nel registro nazionale dei luoghi storici. Il quartiere storico è un'area di 26 isolati lungo il fiume Snohomish, contenente un mix di usi commerciali e residenziali. Il Design Review Board della città di Snohomish, un organo consultivo, è stato creato nel 1979 per garantire che lo sviluppo nel distretto storico sia coerente con gli standard storici stabiliti. 

Historic Downtown Snohomish, fondata nel 2004, è un'organizzazione senza scopo di lucro di volontari e aziende che lavorano per promuovere, preservare e migliorare il quartiere degli affari del centro storico della città.

Jblm is weird to me like I am curious as to how other military bases are laid out, like it cuts through half of American Lake and the other half is residential and public parks so you could just take your kayak there. And also i-5 runs through the base, and also steilacoom-dupont road?

daytripping: Tacoma

I had no plans for the day so I wanted to go to some thrifts I haven’t visited lately. Deseret Industries, my usual Friday haunt, had to wait this week.

First stop, the Goodwill Outlet. Today was a remarkably slow day there, though there was a large crowd waiting for new bins to come out after they’d swarmed all over the clothing bins and picked them clean like starving vultures. Today’s haul included a DVI cable, half a rail of staples (it was a no-name brand of stapler), a rubberstamp of a smiley face with a clown nose, two screwdrivers and a pair of needlenose pliers, three clipboards for work [you’re welcome, Wade] and two items we’ll get to in a minute.

Second stop, the St. Vincent de Paul. I didn’t buy anything but did take a few pictures, so in the near future you will see the four foot tall portrait of Hillary Clinton and a century-old stereo image viewer that was less than ten bucks!

Third stop, Rainbow at the Lakewood Discount World. I miss when they were in a derelect minimart on Steilacoom Boulevard a decade ago, honestly. Anyhow, plenty of excellent things and the signs are great as usual (on the bin of makeup they got from estate sales and storage lockers: “Do Not Use”), but nothing I had to have, though I will be sharing a “live, love, laugh” sign that was in a league of its own.

Fourth stop, Thrift Center. Usually this place is my go-to for frames, but I don’t recall seeing any. And several hole punches but no staplers. This place was the last Bargain World in the chain at one time, and the prices are great and they have multiple colors of percent-off tags and several discount days, but after they became the second store of another local thrift I hardly ever see anything anymore worth the effort.

And home. It was raining so no yardsales, unlike last weekend when I didn’t realize there were yardsales to invade so I stayed inside on the computer.

So the two things I found at the Outlet that are worth talking about:

Four unused stamped envelopes -- seriously, I recooped a third of what I paid today by finding Forever postage just sitting in the bin -- and a 48-page sales circular from 1996 from Home Depot. I’ll be comparing prices at the hardware store I work at to this and crying since Covid-driven inflation has caused a lot of products’ prices to rise, even double, in the last two years.

Sunnyside Beach is really nice today. Not just above the surface, bit also below. No currents and 20ft+ visibility.

Only spent 24 minutes under the water. Was starting to get cold and had to pee. But i did meet some flat friends while i was down there. Diving without a buddy is spooky. And considering all the life down there is sitting camouflaged on the sand, there's a profound sense of loneliness. Would be nice to see a proper school of surfperch someday. I saw one striped surfperch, but she didn't want me getting too close.

The first flatfish I came across was not havin’ it. He was constantly swimming away from me, and we were just going in circles. I left him alone and moved on. The second flatfish I found was more mellow. She was a little active, but would settle and let me look at her for a moment. Until a wandering crab started running at her full speed. It was pretty funny. I don't know why the crab decided to be an ass, for when he caught up to her, he did not attack. I left them alone, since the crab was scaring her off, and tried to find the sewage pipe. I did not find it, but what I did find was another flatfish! He was the tamest of the three, and did not move at all. I was alone at 12m, and the sandy plains were barren and quiet. It felt eerie, but at least i had my flat friend. I saw him use his dorsal and anal fins to throw some substrate over himself. I admired his pattern and tried to looking for distinct features. I think he was an english sole, but could also have been a slender sole. I began swimming back to shore for my safety stop and ended the dive. If the eerie emptiness didn't unsettle me so much, perhaps I could have stayed longer. I had 100 bar left in my tank, so I certainly could have.

5 Free Things to Do in Washington State in 2024

We all like to have fun. However, most of us are thrifty and aren’t willing to part with our hard-earned cash.

So what do you do when you want to take your significant other on a date, but don’t have the funds for an expensive meal? What about when you want to take the kids out of the house to do something fun, but don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars doing it? Where do you go when you want to take a self-care day, but can’t afford the abhorrent fees of a spa?

These are all questions people ask all the time, and rightfully so. But what if I told you there are tons of fun free things to do in Washington state?

That’s right! You don’t have to spend a dime on any of these five events!

Check Out These Free Things To Do In Washington State This Year!

Soak In World-Renowned Mineral Water

Soap Lake is one of the most unique bodies of water in the world. The water has twenty-three minerals naturally found in the lake, which is the highest mineral-count in the world!

What does this mean?

The water and mud in the lake have tons of health benefits. For example, it can improve circulation, soothe skin discomfort, heal bacterial and fungal infections, and give your skin a healthy glow.

Some visitors choose to slather the lake mud on their skin, which acts as a natural mud bath. With the mineral water and mud to soak in, it’s like having a free spa day!

In fact, the town of Soap Lake has incredible hiking spots, bird watching areas, and a scenic byway to drive down.

Go On A Hike Or Visit A Park

While national parks require a fee to enter the park, many beautiful hiking spots in Washington that are free.

For instance, Hawk Creek Trail and Hoodoo Canyon Trail are beautiful, water-front hikes that aren’t too strenuous or difficult.

If you happen to find yourself in Grant County, which is only twenty-five miles from Soap Lake, be sure to explore the Blue Lake Rhino Cave, which was formed by a 15 million-year-old rhinoceros! You can explore the oddly-shaped cave for free.

In addition to hikes, you can also go to a park. For example, Seattle’s Washington Park Arboretum, Lakewood’s Fort Steilacoom Park, and Bellingham’s Sehome Hill Arboretum are favorites of locals.

Take A Trip To The Ocean

There are some incredibly unique beaches in Washington to check out!

For instance, Glass Beach is a great place to find beach glass and other cool rocks. Then, you can take your findings home and make free jewelry or household decorations out of the beautiful glass and rocks. Additionally, near Glass Beach is a quaint Victorian-styled town to walk around.

Tree Root Cave is another unique beach, with a large tree making up the roof of an ocean cave. Some picturesque beaches with historical significance include Waikiki Beach and Cape Flattery. Lastly, Seattle’s Waterfront is a fun urban area to walk around.

Additionally, there are many dog-friendly beaches in Washington to bring your furry friend along.

Visit A Museum

Believe it or not, but some museums are free! For example, the Frye Art Museum has free parking, admissions, and tours!

However, most museums have an entrance fee. But there’s good news! Most museums have a free day once a month. Here is a list of free admission days of some of the most popular museums in Washington state:

Seattle Art Museum: free admission for everyone on the first Thursday of every month. On the first Friday of every month, seniors are free.

The Museum of Flight: free admission on the first Thursday of each month from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm.

The Museum of Glass: free admission on the third Thursday of each month from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm.

Washington State History Museum: free admission on the third Thursday from 3:00 pm – 8:00 pm.

If there is a museum near you that you would like to visit for free, check their website, or give them a call to find out which day of the month they have free admission.

Enjoy A Local Art Walk

Art walks take place all over Seattle, from little towns to Seattle’s big city. These events are free of charge and offer art-lovers a chance to see local talent.

For instance, Pioneer Square in Seattle hosts an art walk on the first Thursday of every month with free parking from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm. On the second Friday of each month, Belltown hosts a lovely art walk to promote local businesses, celebrate art, and connect with the community. Tons of free art walks happen throughout Seattle and surrounding areas, so be sure to find out if there are any near you!

Plan A Trip!

There are tons of free things to do in Washington state that can be fun and exciting for anyone! So what are you waiting for? Plan an outing for you and your significant other, get the kids out of the house for a budget-safe day or plan a mini-vacation around some of these locations.

In fact, Soap Lake Natural Spa and Resort sits right on the beach of the natural Soap Lake spa. Not only do you get to enjoy the beach and have a spa day, but you can also explore nearby caves and partake in adventurous hiking trips for all skill levels.

That’s right! A relaxing vacation with tons of free things to do is just a click away. Book your stay today at Soap Lake Resort to get started or contact Resort Hotel and Spa in Washington State for more information!
