Lost & Forgotten: A True History of Snohomish's First Cemetery


Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pilchuck River, a sacred burial ground holds a forgotten past. To Coast Salish families, and later American settlers, it was a place of reverence and rest. In 1876, it became Snohomish County’s first cemetery.

Within a few generations, the cemetery was abandoned, its records lost and graves forgotten. Soon, the burial ground was bulldozed and built over. Local memory held faint traces of what had been. More than a century later, a descendant came looking for ancestors—and found instead a parking lot. Buried beneath was evidence of a past long denied.

This is the most important story I've told yet. Don't miss it.
