This site will tell you about the volitile lumber industry in Everett during the early 1900's. Seven were killed in a shoot out on the city dock November 5,1916.
I grew up just above the train tracks on Grand Avenue. My father worked at the Everett Plywood Mill for many years. In fact the first house he bought was owned by the Everett Plywood Mill and had two large water tanks in the back yard. He tore them down and busted up all the concrete and buried it in the back yard. We then had a great view of the lovely sunsets over Whidbey Island for many years. Now the plywood mill is gone and we have the Navy in its place.
