Complete growing list of all the Mollie Dowdle stories in the Journal, and the 1966 introduction that the Skagit Valley Herald wrote about her.

In a 1966 column, Mollie reflected on her Tarheel ancestry and eternal laughter with her upper Skagit River family, including observance of "Decoration Day," not only in late May but on Sundays in times of good weather. In a 1975 column, Mollie Dowdle wrote about springtime along the fence and behind the barn on the family's upper Skagit River farm, and the ubiquitous cottonwood trees. In a 1963 column, Mollie wrote about her mother and the challenge she faced with her family, setting up a home clear across the country. Mollie tells the story of how her beloved grandfather, Malcolm Woods, moved his family and four-year-old Mollie out to the Skagit Valley from North Carolina, where poverty, disease and death had taken several of them while very young.

Read the new story about the Opera House and Moose Lodge in Sedro-Woolley. This photo from Dale and Marilyn Thompson shows the north side of the 200 block of State Street in Sedro-Woolley during the Loggerodeo Grand Parade in 1950. Roger Peterson pegged the year because Miss Roetger, Loggerodeo Queen, is in a brand new Larry Stave Oldsmobile. She was named Miss Washington and competed in the Miss America pageant later that year.     To get your bearings, imagine that the old J.C. Penney/present Bus Jungquist furniture building is to the left. The woodframe building with the tall, vertical panes of glass is the Pressentin Plumbing shop. Then there is a wooden doorway to the right, between the Pressentin building and the Opera House/Moose Hall, which has the brick front and a sign hanging out front, "Radio Repair." To the right, or east, would be the Huggins Auto Parts shop and then the Sedro-Woolley Laundry, which you may recall had a very tall smokestack. Can any of you remember the exact date that the laundry and buildings around it burned, circa 1965? We hope that by posting these photos, a reader will recall details about all these buildings and specifically the old Opera House, which was apparently razed in 1972. See three more photos below. Unfortunately, these are the only views of the Opera House building and we hope that a reader will scans with a better view of it.

Sedro-Woolley's Opera House, the Bowery Square and the building that became the Moose Club, fully updated from our recent newspaper research. In 1958, Otto Pressentin recalled the 1897 Skagit River flood that wiped out several downriver towns and how he helped save the books and bell from the Marblemount School where he was teaching. Part 4 of the Otto B.C. Series, 1911-21. Plus, we have now found the complete article that started the series, from April 24, 1958. See the restored text in Part Two.
