Before Lynnwood – a peaceful land of giant trees
When the loggers and the homesteaders came to the area we know today as Lynnwood, except for the sound of the birds and the soft breeze as it rustled through the branches of the immense trees, there was silence. Located a few miles east and inland from Puget Sound, this land seemed to offer little attraction for the native Salish people. Records indicate they preferred to settle near the rivers or salt water. This land had neither. It was the prospect of lumber the giant trees the fir, hemlock and cedar that became the force behind the allure for a completely different group of people the loggers from the East. They did arrive and the land would be forever changed.
