Seems Like Yesterday
50 years ago (1962)
Dr. John Fiorino of Everett was in Chicago this week attending the annual meeting of the Congress on Medical Education and Licensure. Fiorino was appointed to the Washington State Board for Licensure by Gov. Albert Rosselini in 1957 and was able to get the state board accredited by the national organization in 1959.
The next area to show an interest in annexation to Everett was Eastmont. Residents of the area met and it appeared that 80 percent were in favor of joining the city. With a population more than 6,000, if annexed it would push Everett's population to well above 50,000.
25 years ago (1987)
Marysville telephone customers with the prefixes 653 and 659 had a chance vote on their long distance service this month. GTE-Northwest was mailing ballots that included American Sharecom, ITT, AT&T, Comnet, MCI, Call U.S., U.S. Spring and American Network/Savenet. If customers failed to make a selection, GTE was required to allocate a carrier. The current carrier was AT&T.
Northwest Composites, a manufacturer of aerospace components, would start up its Maryville plant off Smokey Point Boulevard in June and gradually build up to 300 jobs the coming year. Joe Moran was company president.
