I was wondering if anyone can verify for me that these are in Mount Vernon, WA
One says "1909 State Bank" and I believe "Hotel Windsor"

The other has a handwritten note that says "Where Fergies is now on Kincaid. The Highschool(?) parade 1921" Sign in back ground reads Lilliman's Dep't Store

Hi Jana,
There are two places that I think can help you. The first is the Skagit County Historical Museum, www.skagitcounty.net/ .

The second one is the Skagit River Journal, www.stumpranchonline.com/ .
Successful Searching!

I certainly can't swear to it.. hopefully someone else will post... But I think the first one is where the Skagit Valley Food Coopp is now, meaning that building is still standing, if it's what I think it is. another place to ask is to go to the clear lake historical association and email Deanna. She may recognize the buildings in the photos.

I'd love to see any other photo's you have of old MV. My great great grandparents and his sister and her husband (David & Minevera Kimble and his sister Clarinda along with her husband Jasper Gates) were the first settlers in MV. I don't have any photo's from them and would love to see some! Thanks and good luck, Michelle

Thanks for writing.
These are some that I think are in Skagit county - Burlington, Sedro Woolley and Mount Vernon.
