The Lowell Civic Association wishes to thank Opinion Page Editor, Peter Jackson, and The Herald for the fine editorial published on May 12. (“Why Lowell’s story matters.”) A Sesquicentennial Celebration is a rare thing, and it is heartening to see that The Herald supports and recognizes that fact.
“No place has a sense of place like this place” may be a bit of a stretch, but is by no means incorrect. From E.D. Smith to the present day, down through the decades, Lowell has maintained a strong sense of self passed on from the oldest of “Old-Timers.” Having existed as a town in its own right, Lowell celebrates that heritage, even after being incorporated into Everett in 1962. We are quick to point out that there is only one “Main Street” in Everett. It is four blocks long and will be found in Lowell.
We invite everyone to join us as we celebrate our 150th with the Lowell Home and Garden Tour on June 29 and Lowell Days on August 10.
The LCA Historic Committee continues to gather photos, personal stories and articles for the book celebrating Lowell History. Contact Gail Chism at 425-258-9381 for more information or to make submissions for possible inclusion. Corporate and personal donations toward publication of the book are still needed and may be forwarded to LCA Treasurer, Ken Carlson at 5607 S. 2nd Ave, Everett, 98203.
For all its “fierce self-reliance,” Lowell is also a proud member of the city of Everett. We have enjoyed working with a number people throughout the city and region who have made significant contributions to our efforts.
Thank you to The Herald, and to all who have participated and are helping to keep the story of Lowell alive.
