Clue #4 - Week #4 (October 24th-30th)

This Historic building is located on Main Street in Monroe, and is known to many as a HALLmark of our downtown. The building was completed in 1908 and over time many changes were made to the location. At one point or another, the Monroe Fire Hall, Monroe Library, Evergreen District Court, Monroe Police Department, and the offices for the City of Monroe were all located in this building. Today, it houses a museum and is home to the Monroe Historical Society.

It was really cool and refreshing to see this famous advertisement in downtown Monroe get a recent facelift and new paint job. In fact a whole laundry list of people were pleased to see how well the recent renovations to this large ad for an American icon turned out. You’ve probably noticed this sign more than once if you drive through downtown Monroe very often. It promotes a product that is often advertised as “the real thing” and that you are often told to have with “…a smile”.

Clue #2 - Week #2 (October 10th-16th)

Sometimes when visitors come to Monroe and see this awesome facility, they leave feeling for evergreen with envy. In fact, I’d say it’s fair to say that happens quite a lot. This landmark, which is actually a group of buildings and other facilities, is located on a stretch of land that used to be the Snohomish County “Poor Farm” as far back as the 1890s. If you like fireworks shows, car races, swap meets, equine events, dog shows, or many other events that attract large numbers of people from the community, then I’ll bet you’ve visited this place at least once!

Clue #1 - Week #1 (October 3rd-9th)

Since this is the first week of the photo scavenger hunt, I’ll give you a condensed version of a clue that leads to the landmark I’m looking for, so you should milk this for all it’s worth. The landmark in question is about 150 feet tall and almost 11 feet in diameter at its base. On March 23rd, 1944 a fire destroyed the facility (which was processing flax into linen for the war effort during World War II) that this landmark was attached to, so it is all that remains of a much larger building. Even though the rest of the building burned many years ago, this landmark remains the tallest structure in downtown Monroe.
