Councilman Doug Thorndike helps Home Depot open with great fanfair including the Snohomish Highschool Band, Chief of Police, Fire Chief, City EDC director and many others. The store in Snohomish Station is the latest to open in the shopping center and is the final big anchor.

In the past three months, Fred Meyer and Kohl's also have opened in the retail center along Bickford Avenue. The Home Depot store will employ about 160 people, according to the retailer. The store features the home improvement chain's latest floor plan, with big kitchen and bath showrooms, an expanded lighting department, a special home decor section and other services. The rest of Snohomish Station's retail spaces are still being occupied or are being offered for lease. Starbucks already is a confirmed tenant for one of those spaces. Residential units planned for the 30-acre development on a former gravel quarry have been delayed while zoning and design issues are worked out between the developer, Wakefield Properties of Bellevue, and the city. With more than 400,000 square feet of retail space and its large anchors, Snohomish Station is expected to have a noticeable effect on the city's sales tax receipts.

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.

1903 City Streets In 1903 Snohomish had many dirt streets, and if there was a sidewalk, it was a wooden sidewalk. There was a plank road on some of the downtown streets for a ways. The planks were about three inches wide running across the street. This is were you walked and if you stepped off the planks you stepped into water or mud. These planks were torn out and First Street was paved with brick. When the brick pavement was finished there was a three day celebration! Every Saturday they would wash First Street witha fire hose. It was kept cleaner than it is today.
