Fifty years ago this week, on May 14, 1969, the final segment of Interstate 5 in Washington opened for traffic between Marysville and Everett, allowing motorists to travel without interruption from the Canadian border to the California state line. The new freeway also helped boost the development of Washington cities along its route, including Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Arlington, Marysville, Everett, Lynnwood, Seattle, Federal Way, Tacoma, Olympia, Centralia, Chehalis, Longview and Vancouver.

The head of Washington state highways was in the folks bridge club in the 60s. Seattle merchants wanted to choke traffic downtown not let people go around it

A few from West Lewis County -
Henry the logger and a logging truck
this screen shot is of the Dryad Lumber Mill on Luedenhaus Rd in west Lewis County. We did a remodel (due to damage on the original house built in 1911) and the ship lap is all labelled with this company. We also purchased 2 acres that ran along side our 8 acres and found out that it was the mill that bought the property. The lot is 1340 ft deep and 66 feet wide and was an old rail line that they hauled the logs out on. I know, CSB

Did a year of undergrad at this shithole, no greek-life due to a Baylor-esque rape scandal. The scandal also resulted in all professors being adjunct 24 year old they/thems because of settlements. Fuck Jimmy Lake foreverRaceBannon said:
