Looking Back: More on a man named Fred Drew and some Lynnwood and Edmonds history

MY EDMONDS NEWS Posted: April 25, 2021 In 1910 – on the way to the waterfront mills in Edmonds Nothing depicts the early days of the town of Edmonds more than timber. It was what brought many New England and Eastern people here; and also, the farmers from the Midwest. On the East Coast, they had pretty much depleted their own forests, and in the Midwest, the farmers were just plain worn out from fighting the weather, mainly in the form of dust storms and droughts.

The building on the left is the former State Bank of Edmonds, and the office of C. T. Roscoe, Jr. is upstairs.

MY EDMONDS NEWS Posted: April 16, 2021 91 Part 1 of two parts 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.
