Geocache Description:

A bit of history for you all.

This is an easy cache near Carnation.

Have you ever wondered about all of the references to "Stossel" in the Carnation Duvall area? Stossel Creek, Stossel Avenue in Carnation, and particularly Stossel Fill that you see on topographic maps. Here is a bit of history about the namesake.

Frank Stossel arrived in Seattle in 1882 from San Francisco after living briefly in St. Louis. Originally an emigrant from Switzerland, Stossel went to work in a King County logging camp operated by William Hurlbut. With his earnings as a logger, he purchased 187 acres of railroad land east of the Snoqualmie River and northwest of Tolt in the northeast quarter of.
Stossel converted this property to farmland, and also worked as a government surveyors' guide in 1885. The surveying crew named Stossel Creek for him. He sold his farmland in 1909 after living on it and improving the property, and began a career as a land speculator with several other properties in King County and the Tolt vicinity. His name appears regularly as a short-term owner on many of the chains of title for historic homes and businesses in Carnation. Stossel Street in the City of Carnation is named for him.

Here is the document I got this information from.
