| 1869 Isaac Cathcart comes to Snohomish Isaac Cathcart emigrated from Ireland to Michigan when he was quite young. He came to Snohomish in 1869 and worked as a chopper in a logging camp. By 1872 he had earned enough to erect the Snohomish Exchange Hotel, a large, two story building costing $6,300. He made it a first class hotel and ran it for sixteen years. |
| 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. |
