Read an excerpt from:
“A city of five thousand souls, thoroughly modern. Gas, electric lights, paved streets, modern business buildings… a city of beautiful homes. She outnumbers the rest of us in years but none of the decrepitude of age is noticeable. She does not aspire to be a metropolis but she will always be what she is today, a healthy, progressive, essentially home city.”
-"Snohomish The 'Hub City.'" The Labor Journal, June 9, 1911
