Lime Kiln Trail by VisitWa

The trailhead is just north of the old mill pond from Waite Mill, one of the largest employers near Granite Falls in the early 20th century. There is evidence of old mills along the trail. Most of the trail, however, follows the route of the original Everett & Monte Cristo railbed along the Stillaguamish, passing an old Lime Kiln, after which the trail is named. The rails were removed in the mid-1930s, and it was possible for a while to drive automobiles on the old railbed and trestles. The trail ends where the railroad crossed the river and immediately entered Tunnel #1. Remains of the old Howe Truss bridge can be seen below in the river if you look carefully. http://myoncell.mobi/sounds/13603553170/media/13603553170_mmss_stop35.mp4

GRANITE FALLS HISTORICAL MUSEUM by VisitWa

The Granite Falls Historical Society was formed in 1971 and later obtained the house at 109 Union St. as permanent display space. In 2005, we decided to expand on the same property, and with hundreds of hours of volunteer work and generous donations, we opened our new building in Oct 2007, debt-free. As you walk about the Museum, see artifacts and pictures from the history of the area, covering mining, railroading, milling, shopkeeping, and homemaking. As you walk about the immediate downtown area, see that much has survived, and understand the pride we have in our local community. Ask about the high-tech features of the Museum, which include electronic searches of maps back to the homestead days, and keyword searches of newspapers back to 1922. http://myoncell.mobi/sounds/13606544362/media/13606544362_mmss_stop18.mp4

Granite Falls Waterfall & Fish Ladder by VisitWa

This is really a three-in-one stop! The waterfall is the natural scenic feature after which the nearby town of Granite Falls was named. In 1954 the longest vertical slot fish ladder in the world was built to allow fish to bypass the Falls and breed upstream. A 280-foot long tunnel was blasted through the solid granite to complement the stair-step design that permits fish to work their way upstream. Finally, the bridge just upstream is worth a look in itself, offering great views from its walkway. Funded in February 1934, it was completed five months later, a huge step toward opening the Mountain Loop. The bridge opening ceremony bragged of it being the Entrance to God’s Mountain Playground. The bridge offers photo ops that will please your camera. http://myoncell.mobi/sounds/13603553170/media/13603553170_mmss_stop3.mp4

ROSYLN Visitors Information Center by visitwainfo

Ph. 509-674-6880 Coal deposits were first noted in 1883, and the first commercial coal mining operations were begun to support railway operations. Roslyn, which lies on the rail route over Stampede Pass, provided the coal for the railway construction work as well as the continuing railroad operations. More recently Roslyn gained movie fame. The Runner Stumbles, a 1979 film produced and directed by Stanley Kramer starring Dick Van Dyke and Kathleen Quinlan, was filmed in Roslyn. Fans of the film often stop at the Immaculate Conception Church, which was featured. Northern Exposure (1990–95), a hit CBS television series, filmed its exterior scenes for the fictional town of Cicely, Alaska, in Roslyn and the surrounding area. The Northern Exposure link is a tourist draw; many local stores use the show as a theme for their goods. In 2009, the band Bon Iver, with singer St. Vincent, wrote and recorded the song "Roslyn", named after the Washington town. The song was featured on the soundtrack to The Twilight Saga

Redmond Visitors Information Center by visitwainfo

425-885-4014 Native Americans have lived in the Redmond area for at least 6,000 years,[10] and the first European settlers arrived in the 1870s. The abundant forests and fish of Redmond provided jobs for loggers and fishermen and with those jobs came demand for goods and services, bringing in merchants. The logging industry expanded significantly in 1889 when Seattle Lake Shore & Eastern Railway built a station in the center of town. After reaching the necessary population of 300, Redmond was incorporated in 1912. Redmond has earned a spot in the top five of Money Magazine's latest ranking of the "Best Places to Live" in America. The magazine cited Redmond's low crime rate, quality schools, and variety of shops and restaurants as major reasons for the fifth-place ranking. A lot of people know Redmond because Microsoft’s headquarters are there, but there’s a lot more to Redmond than Microsoft and Bill Gates.

5th Ave. Bridge - Salmon viewing by museumsWA

From late August to early October of each year you may want to walk across the Fifth Avenue Bridge in downtown Olympia where you can join a bunch of people leaning on the rail and staring into the water. They are gazing at schools of big chinook salmon, which swim in circles below the fish ladder that leads to Capitol Lake and the Deschutes River. The salmon return every year to the Deschutes and the Tumwater Falls Hatchery. The 5th Avenue Bridge, which crosses the Deschutes River, has a small dam with a fish ladder running through it. The fish ladder on the Budd Inlet side of the dam is a series of 11 steps, each about 1 foot from the next.The salmon run attracts other wildlife gathering to take advantage of the easy pickings the salmon made for them. You’ll likely see harbor seals feeding on the salmon as well as heron, sea gulls and other shore birds. There is a free parking lot by Capitol Lake Park along 5th Avenue. It is small, and likely to be full on a popular viewing day.

Bigelow House Museum by museumsWA

360-753-1215 The Bigelow House is the oldest residence in Olympia, Washington, and one of the earliest still standing in the Pacific Northwest. Pioneer lawyer and Territorial Legislator Daniel R. Bigelow and his schoolteacher wife Ann Elizabeth White built Bigelow House in the 1850s. The Bigelows were pivotal figures in early Washington history and the struggle for women’s rights and public education. The house is a rare surviving example of the Carpenter Gothic style architecture popular in rural America during the mid-1800s and is still surrounded by more than an acre of the family’s original land claim. The home displays original documents, artifacts, and furnishings representing 150 years of the family’s participation in important causes on the community, state and national levels. This short 3 minute You Tube clip is from the “This Old House” footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY7DS45xj9w Admission Our entry hall exhibit and information center are open to visitors free of charge.
