Seems Like Yesterday
50 YEARS AGO (1960)
Two new Everett businesses were having grand openings tomorrow. Prescription Optical at the corner of Pacific and Colby avenues invited customers to visit its ultra-modern fashion corner for a complete selection of stylish eyewear.
Walt’s Milk House was now in Everett at 44th and Rucker, just south of the Totem Pole, with a sign depicting a glass of milk being filled by a bottle. Herman Ross was the manager and store operator, while Walt Bartelheimer was the dairy herd owner and operator. Children accompanied by parents could drink all the milk they wanted free.
25 YEARS AGO (1985)
Snohomish County was to get a ninth Superior Court judge in January following action in the Legislature. One judge in Snohomish and Clark counties and two in Pierce County were to be added.
General Hospital at 14th Street and Colby Avenue advertised Thrive, a four-phase community wellness program. It was $35 for five weeks and included a smoking-cessation program, a stress-management program to recognize situations that cause stress, a nutrition and weight-control program, and an exercise and fitness program.
