THE VOICE OF THE SKY VALLEY           CONTINUALLY PUBLISHED SINCE 1899
BY POLLY KEARY

A long-held dream has finally become a reality for antique tractor collector Jerry Senner of Snohomish. For nearly 10 years he has promoted the idea of a museum on the Sky Valley to celebrate the history of local agriculture, mining and transportation.
Last week, Senner signed a deal with Snohomish County and with the Evergreen State Fair to place a permanent museum, to be called The Western Heritage Center, in a building on the fairgrounds.

“We’ll be in Building 611,” said Senner. “It’s the last building to the east.” The 2000 square-foot building will receive a major overhaul for its new, year-round role as a museum. A fully functional windmill and waterwheel will go outside. A silo will be constructed, and the building will be enlarged by about 100 square feet to make room for more exhibits.

Inside the compact space will be a comprehensive and sophisticated group of exhibits illustrating the early technology of field, farm and forest.

Monroe’s most successful school sports team just might be the Leaders in Learning Cobras. The 20-person Ultimate Frisbee team from the alternative high school just won the Division II Washington State Championship, giving them their third state title in as many years.

“I don’t know if any other sports program has won at that level three times in a row,” said Cobras coach Ken Brown.
