BURLINGTON, Wash. - June 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Sedro-Woolley is wealthy in history, history going back over one hundred years that is brought together in rare and never before published images.  Arcadia’s Images of America Series, Sedro-Woolley Washington depicts the established town’s history. More than 200 vintage photographs have been used to create a unique timeline of the past.  Nestled in the breathtaking Skagit Valley this work is a pictorial history of a town full of prosperity and heritage of generations past.  Compiled by the Sedro-Woolley Historical Museum, they have traced the settlement of the town, businesses, churches, and people.  Careful effort has been made to represent all aspects of the town and it’s citizens.  Sedro-Woolley Washington links the past to the future and demonstrates that a town with the bounties of beauty and history has been a solid platform for a thriving community.  Some of these images are:

·         Home of Washington’s oldest celebration of the 4th of July

·         Tusko, the elephant, running amuck through town in 1922.  Featured also on the New York Herald’s front page

·         Only town north of San Francisco to receive three intercontinental trains arriving each day
