Learn about the history of Everett’s Silver Lake

Before Silver Lake was surrounded by homes, it was a secluded site people used to camp around. I’ve got a black-and-white photo from the ’20s hanging in my living room with a few Everett residents car camping on Silver Lake with their Model T.

Historian David Dilgard plans to talk about the early days of Silver Lake at a public meeting 7 p.m. Thursday at the Silver Lake Activity Center, 11525 19th Ave. SE. It’s a treat to hear him speak. He’s one of those rare people who knows his stuff and can tell a story well.
