We have reached a crucial point where we either have to receive more donations for our project or we will be forced to take more outside clients and cut back our research and writing radically by the end of this year. This is especially important as we have invested nearly $500 in a new domain and broadband access. We are always woefully underfunded, so any donation you choose to make will help provide funds needed for research, copies and travel to find original sources and meet with descendants of pioneers. Read a full list of stories in Issue 37 and see the archives of the magazine. |

Thinking about gifts for Christmas, reunions, birthdays or other occasions? Due to continued popular demand, in the interest of furthering our "open source" policy, we are assembling a collection of CDs that will include MS Word files of our pioneer profiles and town profiles from years 1-5, so that you can print them individually at your convenience. They will be organized by region: Sedro-Woolley & surrounding area; Upper Skagit River from Utopia to Cascades plus logging, hunting and fishing; Western Skagit County and other counties. See our site with details of what is offered and the prices and ordering information. |

This is the main reason. Photos that you might not see otherwise. Photos that lay hidden for years in someone's attic or garage or the back of a drawer. Your subscription will help us maintain this site so that others like Borgne Heyntsen will loan us photos to scan, like this one she provided. Do you remember the days when these monster trees were slung between truck trailers and transported down the Burlington Highway (now Highway 20)? Do you remember this service station, owned by John Conrad, at the corner of Collins road? Would you like to read his notes on the obituary of every pioneer over a 25-year period in mid-century? Is that a good enough reason to subscribe and help this project? Other reasons are below. |
Why subscribe? Don't worry. We get that question a lot. To answer your question, there are benefits that a subscriber gets over and above the free resources of the home page. Most of our subscribers have paid mainly just to help us defray basic costs and to help make sure that we can continue sharing information, especially for students and researchers who cannot afford a subscription. But others paid because of these benefits:
