I was thumbing through some of Arlis’s new books I have be thrifting for and found this cute picture in the 1975, A Golden Book, titled: “My Little Book of Big Machines”.
I have a habit of writing letters to the editor here in Skagit County; I think more than a dozen can be attributed to me! I have been pretty vocal on one issue in particular - a proposal to build a solid waste transfer station across the street from Sedro-Woolley High School; a horrid idea I might add. This letter was published in the March 3rd, 2008, Skagit Valley Herald.
Hey Sedro-Woolley officials, ditch the dump and take a dip in our new pool! That’s right; the city should rehabilitate the former logging site on Jameson and transform it into an aquatic center.
Imagine a Sedro-Woolley High School swim and dive team with its own pool! Ponder our children wading in the shallow waters in summer! Entertain octogenarians exercising a good, healthy lifestyle by swimming and doing water-aerobics! There would be room for you, too, and the citizens of Sedro-Woolley will look to your tenure fondly.
What I am trying to convey in writing this is that this location could be used for something that would greatly benefit the citizens of Sedro-Woolley, but to encourage a waste station to be built in the midst of a neighborhood and across the street from the Sedro-Woolley High School is simply ludicrous.
Seriously, this deluxe dump is a dumb idea. The swimming pool, on the other hand, would work swimmingly!

Municipal waste removal appeared to be standard for both commercial and residential properties from what I noticed during my brief visit to Denton.
