The City of Snohomish, with the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce & the HDS move forward with the opening of the new Snohomish Visitors Center. The Snohomish Chamber of Commerce along with the City and HDS have come together for this fantastic new local resource. Designed in homage to the Old Snohomish Train Depot, the Snohomish Visitors Center is at First street and Avenue D.
The Visitor Information Center interior is furnished with authentic antiques donated from Chamber members and from down town Snohomish shops are used to furnish the center, in addition, there is a interpretive historical display and a 10-minute video loop about the city's past and present. See the new visitor video!
State and federal grant, money collected from city licensed businesses through a VIC project assessment funding from the Snohomish Chamber of Commerce and HDS, and numerous other donations are funding this project. The grand opening celebration was in July 2005.
| Snohomish Washington Area History Quick Fact |
| 1869 Isaac Cathcart comes to Snohomish Isaac Cathcart emigrated from Ireland to Michigan when he was quite young. He came to Snohomish in 1869 and worked as a chopper in a logging camp. By 1872 he had earned enough to erect the Snohomish Exchange Hotel, a large, two story building costing $6,300. He made it a first class hotel and ran it for sixteen years. |
| 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. |
Thank you to the Snohomish Tourism Bureau for their support and cooperation.
