Marysville Costco to Host Book Signing for Exploring Camano Island: A History & Guide

MARYSVILLE, Wash. - June 9, 2016 - PRLog -- Marysville Costco to Host Book Signing for Exploring Camano Island: A History & Guide

Val Schroeder will be available to sign copies of the local history book

The beaches, forests and wildlife of Washington's Camano Island offer a treasure-trove of natural beauty and endless recreational possibilities. English Boom Historical Park was once a bustling center for logging and is now a peaceful spot with its uplands, salt marsh, shoreline and tidelands. Davis Slough is named after Reuben Davis, who lived on Camano Island before 1880 and was the oldest settler in the area. The island has historically been used by Native Americans, loggers, farmers and fishermen alike but today is enjoyed by Camano Islanders, who have worked hard to protect and preserve the island's cherished nature sites. Discover Camano Island with author Val Schroeder as she takes readers on a trek around the location's best-preserved features while uncovering the unique history behind them.
