Quiet hours are 10 p.m.-6 a.m., and sounds generally should not be heard more than 30 feet away if they last more than 20 minutes.

The council also will discuss amending its nuisance ordinance to restrict the use of electric and barbed-wire fences.

Lynnwood

Alderwood Manor history exhibit

The Alderwood Manor Heritage Association is sponsoring an exhibit that gives an overview of the community’s history while highlighting the significance of its demonstration farm as the second in a series of four community exhibits at the Snohomish County Museum, 1913 Hewitt Ave., Everett.

In 1917, according to the exhibit, land logged by the Puget Mill Co. was divided into 5-acre parcels and platted as Alderwood Manor by California developer W.A. Irwin, who hoped to entice people from all over the country to settle in the fresh air of Alderwood Manor as “gentleman farmers.”

Many came to raise poultry on the ranchettes and, until the Depression, were so successful they ranked second in the country to Petaluma, Calif., in egg production.

Until 1939, many of the “little landers” rode to day jobs on the Interurban railway, and at night Interurban freight cars brought chicken feed and supplies to the local grocery, later known as Wickers Mercantile.

The exhibit is open 1-4 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday through June. It is a part of the changing component of the museum’s 50th anniversary exhibit, “Industry on Parade: Early Enterprise in Snohomish County.”

For more information, call 425-259-2022.
