| 1876 Isaac Cathcart is Married On August 9, 1876, Isaac Cathcart and Miss Julia J. Johns were married in Seattle. There was a "free social" at the Exchange "for all friends and patrons". The town and countryside accepted this invitationen masse. Crowds greeted the bridal couple. There was a dinner and then dancing. This was noted to be the greatest wedding celebration in Snohomish's history! |
| 1877 The Bicycle Tree A landmark south of Snohomish that became very popular in the late 1800's was a large cedar tree measuring 48 feet in circumference. When the bicycle became so very popular, a path was made that ran parallel to the road to ride on. The cyclists hired a logger, by the name of Milligan to cut an arch through the tree, for the sum of $15. The arch was 12 feet high and 5 feet wide. |
| 1903 City Streets In 1903 Snohomish had many dirt streets, and if there was a sidewalk, it was a wooden sidewalk. There was a plank road on some of the downtown streets for a ways. The planks were about three inches wide running across the street. This is were you walked and if you stepped off the planks you stepped into water or mud. These planks were torn out and First Street was paved with brick. When the brick pavement was finished there was a three day celebration! Every Saturday they would wash First Street witha fire hose. It was kept cleaner than it is today. |
