N&T Steamboats THEN1

THEN1: In this snowy scene from winter 1888, the steamboat Cascade, piloted by Captain George W. Gove, stops along the Snoqualmie River at The Landing, later renamed Fall City, next to today’s state Highway 202. Hauling hops from nearby farms, it also picked up stacked 4-foot cordwood. This is the cover photo for “Steamboats on the Snoqualmie,” a book by Steve Barker and Jack Russell. Built in 1884, the Cascade last operated in 1901. Visible onshore with a dog is 8-year-old Albert Moore, later a farmer and North Bend Timber fire warden. (Snoqualmie Valley Museum)
