Did you know?

100 years ago... In 1926 a panther was chosen as the athletic mascot for SHS. According to legend, a student’s father was a frequent buyer of boot heels from the Panther Rubber Manufacturing Company. One day he brought a panther advertising sign from the company and installed it in the high school’s hallway. This was the first known imagery of the school’s defining icon.

Amazon: enormous corporate behemoth. 📦
Also Amazon: cheap and useful to a tiny, all-volunteer historical society. 😅

So, since it’s Prime Days, may we suggest putting that discount to work for local history?

We keep an Amazon Wishlist stocked with practical things we need: supplies for the museum, archives, events, and all the necessities that keep the Snohomish Historical Society running.

If you’re already shopping the sales, consider adding something for us to your cart. 🏛️❤️ Every gift is one less thing coming out of our very small nonprofit budget and more of our resources going toward preserving and sharing Snohomish history.

Support the little guys. 🙏

Time to put your thinking caps on Snohomish History mavens. I have a bit of a quiz for you. Your job, if you choose to accept, is to tell us what now occupies the locations pictured below. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, right? With one picture you will be asked to identify what used to be at the location. Got it? Good! Keep your eyes on your own paper, please. You may begin.

Join us to decorate on Sunday, September 27th after museum close -around 3:15p.

Our team will make it a grand ol’ time and it’s always rewarding to see something tangible (and spooky) come out of the process.
