Seems Like Yesterday
50 YEARS AGO (1959)
Fire Alarm Operator Gordon Keeys gave his new telephone and radio equipment a test as Fire Marshal Earl Brower and Superintendent Lee Machin of the Fire and Police Signal Division watched. The new equipment was put in operation this week in the new Fire and Police Alarm Building on Oakes Avenue, just south of the fire station.
Construction of a huge new supermarket on the northeast corner of Evergreen Way and Madison Street was announced by Albertson’s. The chain currently had one store in Lynnwood, nine in Seattle and three in Tacoma. The new store would replicate one in Provo, Utah.
25 YEARS AGO (1984)
Developers who made up a new coalition called the Technology Corridor hoped to attract high-technology firms to build on land they owned. In the new tech corridor were parcels near Harbour Pointe all the way down to the North Creek area.
Katrina from Sweden and Pete from Germany were coming to spend a high school year with an American family. Families were needed now for European students arriving here in August. These students spoke English and carried their own spending money. They were sponsored by Educational Foundation for Foreign Study.
