The library’s Northwest Room offers materials and services that enhance understanding of the Pacific Northwest region, with special collections of maps, pamphlets, oral history interviews and historic photos relating to Everett and Snohomish County history. Topics include: labor history, sawmills and logging, late nineteenth and early twentieth century photography and frontier industrialism.

Two regional history specialists are also available to help answer questions, provide programs or listen to your story. Contact us in person, by phone, mail or e-mail.

The Master Builders of King and Snohomish Counties is sponsoring the Northwest Room as part of their 2009 centennial celebration. Look for additional online content as a result of the organization's generous support.
