A very dishearted Carolynn Crawford called me about 1 pm today to let me know that the judge had decided for the city. I asked if there was a possibility of appeal, but the Moore's funds are depleted to present this case, and she didn't know what her parents would decide to do. This is a sad day for Snohomish history also. The message the judge sent was that nothing is sacred and those who pioneered and cultivated a town are not important, and Snohomish History will be lost to anyone who comes along and asks about the early beginnings of the area. This kind of decision will mean open season on any property that is deemed more valuable to build on than to preserve. It is a lesson to me that nothing is permanent, nothing is sacred. And to think that cemeteries get big bucks nowadays for planting people perpetually! I guess another message is for families, let the buyer beware. Evelyn
