The Snohomish Stories Archive features fourteen years of monthly stories about the history of Snohomish, Wash., from 2007 to 2021, and introduces a quarterly newsletter to support the Archive, “Walking Home in a River Town.”

Over the years of practicing Tai Chi in Kla Ha Ya Park, facing the Snohomish River, I have become an expert at walking home to our renovated church on the corner of Third and Avenue B.

“The structure was dedicated to the Bl.Virgin Mary in 1889 under the title Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. How and when the title of the church came to be changed to that of St. Michael, is unknown to me.” Father Tryphon F. Van DeWalle, 1925

The November 2018 story tells how the St. Michael Catholic church, the first in Snohomish County, became AngelArmsWorks Studio. Perhaps that could be your first story as a Paid subscriber.
