ONCE UPON A TIME, two artists from Seattle, Karen and Warner, bought an old church at a bankruptcy sale in the courthouse lobby. They had only just learned that it was the first Catholic church of Snohomish County, built in the 1880s on the corner of Third and B in the heart of what was to become Snohomish's historic district. They painted it pink, the color of angel wings; and they called the place AngelArmsWorks. The exhausted but happy couple moved in around the turn of the millennium and seven years later this book appeared about the early days of Snohomish, a story told with historic photos.

Personalized copies of Warner's book "EARLY SNOHOMISH" are available here at the retail price of $19.99 plus $3.99 USA shipping and local taxes. Signed copies are also available at Kusler's on Avenue D.
