Consideration: $450.00. P.E. Jones and Luella Jones, husband and wife, to A.H. Griffin. The Hastert House The Craftsman house was built by A.H. Griffin. Telephone records indicate a Frederick Hastert was listed in the 1926-27 phone book at this address. The home was later owned by the Stouffer family, who owned a building supply company in Aberdeen. Their warehouse still stands under the Chehalis River bridge and was at one time, evaluated as a possible location for the Aberdeen Museum of History. In the mid-2000’s the house was purchased by the then-owner of the Coney mansion in Cosmopolis. The house features original woodwork, fixtures, and a stained-glass window along the staircase to the second floor. There is a tunnel from the garage into the house to facilitate a dry entrance during inclement weather. In the mid-2000’s the kitchen was beautifully remodeled to reflect the Craftsman architecture of the house and a large family room adjacent to the kitchen was added. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/317-w-10th-10 daily 0.75 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/8c5dfc7e-03a3-4fc8-ac1c-9778dab39d2b/W+10-St+317-2.jpg 317 W. 10th Street, Aberdeen, WA 98520 (Copy) - 317 West 10th Street Built 1926 | Style: French Revival #1 on the Map Deed: Recorded June 28, 1924. Consideration: $10.00. J.D. Walker and Margaret B. Walker, husband and wife, to Peter Hegg. The Haukelid/Hegg House Haukelid & Hegg were the contactors who built the house in 1926. They specialized in stucco and, among other stucco structures, built the Lutheran Church in downtown Aberdeen. Many residents built homes of stucco after a devastating fire in 1904 which took out many of the wooden buildings in the downtown core of the city. Jacob and Olga Hegg moved in in 1926. Many years later the Heggs’ granddaughter’s cousin Sharon and her husband, Doug Schermer, moved in. The Schermers later divorced and Doug resides in the home today. It is a large home with many unique features. There is a sauna, hot tub and exercise room in the basement. There is a large sunroom on the south side of the house, five bedrooms and a marble master bath. One bedroom has a fireplace. There are many original doorknobs and fixtures, and the house has been well maintained. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/200-w-10th daily 0.75 2022-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/bee24a37-a63b-47d5-937d-6ef27f97690d/200-W-10th.JPG 200 W. 10th Street - 200 West 10th Street Built 1926 | Style: Tudor Revival #3 on the Map Deed: Recorded July 1, 1926. Consideration: $10.00. Erick O. Astrom and Teckla A. Astrom, husband and wife, to Anna Brower. The Brower House, later the Reid House This house was designed by architect Roy Dobell, who also designed the Morck house (on K Street between Ninth and Tenth). The house was built in 1926 and David Brower and his family moved in in 1927. Mr. Brower had a women’s clothing store in what is now the Grand Heron at Heron and I Street. From 1940-1980 the house was occupied by the Reids, Harold and Marie, and their three children. Harold was a general contractor, son of the architect of the original City Hall, St. Mary’s Church; and several of the houses on the hill; Marie was the granddaughter of John Schafer, the founder of Schafer Logging. The house originally had three bedrooms and 1-3/4 baths upstairs. Two additions, not readily visible from the street, were added. The first was built in 1950 which enlarged the kitchen to its present 650 sq. ft. and added a laundry room, and a two-car garage on J Street with a nanny’s bedroom and bath above, accessible by its own interior staircase. In 1960 the Reids added a large bedroom, dressing room and bath on the west wide of the first floor and built the house directly west of their house for their daughter, Janet. The two houses, now separate properties, are very close to each other and were connected by a covered causeway, which has since been removed. This house is on the City’s Historic Register. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/index daily 1.0 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/c80c7ad7-797a-493c-89bc-2f3c725506a3/RESURGENCE.jpg Home Resurgence, a Public Art Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1644268486440-ZEMZ9K0GQF0TFYNVCNGK/CHINOOK-SALMON.jpg Home Chinhook Salmon - a Critter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/564e1c2e-c1a8-4076-8477-7dcacc7e4d1a/W+8-St+412-1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1644274115696-QLEPXE6SBM8UOZ86PSYJ/TEDDY-AND-THE-CAPTAIN.jpg Home Teddy and the Captain - Public Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/c2ac4888-6e13-496f-af8d-2608074ddcfc/BARKBEETLE-BEGGAR.jpg Home Barkbeetle Beggar - a Critter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/651a9084-6368-4c7a-82cf-c78c8db1822c/Jenny_Fisher_2397.jpg Home The Immigrants - a Mural https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1649960210269-V4BCLPVQUM9XZJ0N8D26/Bubbles-Mural.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/c0635991-b53c-43e9-bfb6-8eca8a26fc8d/W-11-St+111-113-Harborview-inn.jpg Home The Harborview Inn - a Broadway Hill historic home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1644281116801-PYUMD099IMPNNO9MO2PT/LIBRARY-OWL.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/b29f0784-0d6c-4eed-8bf8-b797204e105f/PILE-PYTHON-cropped.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1650510035361-98ECI3I15YXNT2LQYX5P/200-W-10th.JPG Home https://www.ouraberdeen.com/1111-1113-w-11th daily 0.75 2022-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/4379d712-fadf-49c5-a3d4-a83e06cc6fab/Harbor-View-Inn-111-113-West-11th.jpg The Dr. Wilson B.

Hopkins and Rilla Hopkins, husband and wife; and Earl H. Freeman, to Willis G. Hopkins. The Dr. Wilson B. Paine House/Harbor View Inn Bed and Breakfast Dr. Paine came to Aberdeen in the late 1800’s from Lynn, Massachusetts, and opened a pharmacy/gift shop in the old Hayes & Hayes Bank building; it was located where the Jack-in-the-Box is today. He later sold this business and opened an insurance and real estate business. Telephone records show that the Paines moved in in 1909. Members of the family occupied the house until 1950. It is owned today by Cindy Lonn and part of the house has been turned into a bed and breakfast. The house took two years to build due to wet weather and unpaved roads. Its address was the northwest corner of Broadway and Tenth. It was the highest house on the hill. The house had natural gas for lighting and three fireplaces for heating. The first floor of the house had bedrooms and workrooms for the servants. The family lived on the second and third floors. The second floor had a large, formal dining room and a small informal breakfast room, and there were sunrooms on each side of the south ends of the house which helped to heat the house. There were five bedrooms on the third floor. A fire gutted the south side of the house in May 1922. The family rebuilt the house in 1923 as a duplex, so their daughter Winnifred and her husband, Lester O’Day, could reside there. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/1119-n-broadway daily 0.75 2022-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/c930226f-f732-476f-b6df-fecfa6e4b794/Broadway+1119-1.jpg 1119 N.

The Hawks House The house is one of the oldest on the Hill. It is thought to have been built by J.A. McGillicuddy. In the 1930’s the house was owned by William Routt, a C.P.A. in the 1970’s the house was divided into three apartments – basement, first floor (where the owner lived), and second floor. At one time, the basement and second-floor tenants took their vacations at the same time. It was the custom to have your utilities turned off when you were gone for several weeks. When the tenants got back, they learned the owner did not have water or electricity while they were gone. Today the house is back to a single-family residence, owned by Jamie and Jim Walsh. Jamie is an architect and Jim is a book publisher as well as this district’s state representative in Olympia. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/1120-n-broadway daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/797ac074-fb38-4616-a365-f3f0ff73de3c/Broadway+1120-1.jpg 1120 N.

Nelson. The Carl and Agnes Nelson House Carl was a blacksmith. He and his father repaired timber industry equipment. As payment for repair work he did for a carnival passing through town, Carl received a shooting gallery which he installed in the basement. Parties would generally end up with the women in the living room and the men in the basement firing .22s at the steel rabbits and giraffes. After Carl’s death, Agnes lived on in the house until shortly before her death at 100. The house is now owned by Nelson’s grand-nephew, Peter Scroggs and his wife, Kristen. There is a wood lift from the basement to the living room for the fireplace. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/1111-n-broadway daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/b974c913-3684-469b-a296-365f98f39003/Broadway+1111-3.jpg 1111 N.

The Anderson/Hulbert House The house was building by Sam Anderson, Jr., for his son Harold and his bride. They lived in the house for a short time and then sold it to George Hulbert. George and his wife, Nez, lived there until the early 1930’s. Nez later married Orville Wiseman, who was related to Werner Rupp, the publisher of The Aberdeen World. In 1935, a servant’s bedroom was converted to a nursery for the Wisemans’ growing family. Orville worked for the newspaper and in the 1950’s moved to a modern new home built by the newspaper at 1300 Bel Aire. There was a string of subsequent owners, all of whom were in the logging business, until Tom and Gretchen Brennan purchased the house in 1971. Tom was the owner of a large retail business in downtown Aberdeen. Mrs. Brennan still resides in the home. Note the porte cochere and the lovely rose garden. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/1114-n-broadway daily 0.75 2022-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/e5a5c41a-e116-4091-acc2-271c34b363d5/Broadway+1114-1.jpg 1114 N.

Sarah continued to live in the house after her marriage and she was general manager of Grays Harbor Prefab Company, which was later purchased by the Schafer Company. There were nine children in the family, so it was a busy house. There is a ballroom and office in the basement. It has the same spruce siding as the Barlow house around the corner on J Street. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/1019-n-broadway daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/d15abe2a-7336-4137-b867-e003f8e67f73/Broadway+1019-1.jpg 1019 N.

The house is pretty much as built. Most of the original fixtures are intact. The main floor has oak flooring and big decorative wood moldings. There is an elevator connecting all three floors, and a tennis court in the back of the property. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/102-e-8th daily 0.75 2022-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/7d090ed7-19f8-4426-94b0-ca23e2ffee2f/E+8-St+102-1.jpg 102 E. 8th Street - 102 East 8th Street Built 1904 | Style: Eastern Brick and Shingle #12 on the Map Deed: Recorded July 6, 1903.

It is currently owned by Gregory May, an orthopedic surgeon, and his wife, Anne Wong, a hospitalist at our local hospital.

Mrs. Donovan died around 1912, her daughter Florence lived in the house with her father for many years after. She had no children and the house passed out of the family after Florence’s death in 1971. Money was no object when the house was built, and the tradition continued. Judge Edwards, while still an attorney, won a large class-action case and enlarged and remodeled the home extensively. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/109-w-8 daily 0.75 2022-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/547a3dd2-1928-4e26-9da2-5cb0572370d6/W+8-St+109-1.jpg 109 W. 8th Street - 109 West 8th Street Built 1907 | Style: Four Square #14 on the Map Deed: Recorded June 15, 1932.

In 1913, B.F. and Mary Grace Johnson bought the property. B.F. had a majority interest in A.F. Coates Logging and later purchased American Mill Company with A.F. Coates and a Mr. Hannify from San Francisco. The Johnsons had three sons and two daughters. Daughter Mary and her husband lived in the house with her mother. In 1923 the house was duplexed, modernized, and turned to face Broadway. A sunroom was added, the four pillars that graced the front porch were removed, and the property had a total of six bedrooms. In the 1950’s, Mary and Victor moved the house to its present location and built the rambler on the corner. The house is currently owned by Keith Kramer, who has restored it to a single-family residence. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/201-w-8 daily 0.75 2022-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/81ef7b83-e8ee-4b95-a85d-10642900af41/W+8-St+201-1AB.jpg 201 W. 8th Street - 201 West 8th Street Built 1900 | Style: Four Square #15 on the Map Deed: Recorded February 23, 1907.

Later owners included Frank and Jane Schafer. The home is currently owned by Gerhard and Lynne Schmidtke. The house has been through many changes over the years. What appears to be a one-story extension was actually one of Hiram’s greenhouses. It is now a large family room. In addition, there is a music room, front and back staircases, and a bowling alley. Many of the original porches have been either removed or became part of the house. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/214-w-8 daily 0.75 2022-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/8f1054a3-f6bc-4827-8ea7-45e2bc903d16/W+8-St+214-1.jpg 214 W. 8th Street - 214 West Eighth Street Built 1900 | Style: Four Square #16 on the Map Deed: Recorded October 9, 1906.

Consideration: $1.00. Charles R. Wilson Estate, Inc., to Margaret A. Wilson. The Wilson House The Wilsons came to Aberdeen in 1887 and established the Wilson Brothers sawmill. The mill was along the Wishkah River and Heron Street. Their log pond was where the Rotary Log Pavilion sits today. Margaret and her eight children lived in the house (with only one bathroom). It was a tightly-knit family and all the children spent time there throughout their adult lives. George, aka Dewey, lived in the house most of his life and died there at the age of 103. He had worked as an accountant for the Wilson Brothers Lumber Company all of his life and was a passionate ham radio operator. He was recognized as one of the five most proficient U.S. ham radio operators during his lifetime. The house has changed hands only twice since it was built.” The house is as originally built with the exception of the roof over the front porch and kitchen cupboards installed in the 1920’s. There is original woodwork and fixtures throughout the seven-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath house. There is a sleeping porch, front and back staircases, and lots of windows.

A port commissioner by the name of Terrill bought the house from Robert Hoonan and moved an unoccupied office building from the port to the house to fashion the garage. At one time the house was heated by a wood boiler that came from a ship. In 1988, the Pentilla family bought the house and still resides here. The house faces west and was built before the houses to the west were built, giving the house an unobstructed view when it was built. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/library-owl daily 0.75 2022-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1644281116801-PYUMD099IMPNNO9MO2PT/LIBRARY-OWL.JPG The Owl - Bronze Sculpture | Benjamino Bufano The Owl Dedicated July 3, 1968 Location: Aberdeen Timberland Library, Front entrance Written by Patricia Warren for Owl’s 40th Celebration Party, July 19, 2008. Everyone loves The Owl, and over the past four decades thousands of patrons have patted it on the head as they have entered and departed our library. The artist who conceived this wonderful creation was Benjamino Bufano, an eccentric, small man who was born October 14, 1889, in San Fele, Italy. Benny was one of 16 children and came to New York with his family when he was 3 years old. As a young man, he served apprenticeships with various artists, and it was clearly evident that he possessed a special gift. Prior to WWI, Bufano returned to Italy where he carved an 18-foot, 2-1/2-ton granite statue of St. Francis of Assisi. That piece has been described by British art critic Roger Fry as “the most significant piece of sculpture done within the past 500 years.” It was ultimately brought to the United States and gifted by the artist to the city of San Francisco, Bufano’s adopted home. Money had little meaning for Bufano except for what he required to purchase more art supplies. He had a multi-faceted personality, and those who knew him described him as warm, shy and unassuming, but also aggressive and outspoken. He stood somewhere between four- foot-ten and five-foot-three. On a heavy day, he weighed in at 110 pounds. Numbers are never clear when referring to Bufano. He was a vegetarian who fasted one day each week, and he was a pacifist of the first order. His favorite subjects for his sculptures were peace themes: children, animals and St. Francis, the 13th century monk whom he sculpted more than one hundred and fifty times. In Bufano’s eyes, St. Francis was the embodiment of peace and love of humanity. Following the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, Benny Bufano and San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto sent out a plea for Californians to turn in their guns. More than two thousand weapons were voluntarily submitted and melted down. The gun metal was then combined with bronze and a giant figure of St. Francis was formed. It was emblazoned with colored mosaic depicting Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln. A singing chorus of children of all races are shown at the base of Bufano’s 12-foot sculpture. Bufano was the first sculptor to work with stainless steel, and among his most noteworthy pieces is his statue called Peace, which stood at the entrance to the San Francisco airport. Many of his pieces, unlike our owl, have spent transient existences, being moved from place to place, depending on the whims of those in political or artistic power. His works were both maligned and highly praised. Benny Bufano’s art can be seen in many public places throughout America, particularly in the Bay area and northern California. His famous seals, bears and other animals reside at Golden Gate Park, Aquatic Park, and Ghirardelli Square, a mother bear and her cub greet visitors to Portland’s Washington Park Zoo. His work can also be found in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, as well as in Paris, Rome, London, Vienna, Madrid, Moscow, Berlin, Peking, and Tokyo. Benny traveled the world and counted among his acquaintances Mahatma Gandhi, with whom he made the Salt March (www.saltmarch.org). Gandhi and his followers set off on a 2000-mile journey from Ashram Ahmedabad to the Arabian Ocean. Bufano argued Marxism with Mao Tse-tung, discussed philosophy with Albert Einstein, and shared a pizza with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His close friends included William Saroyan, Henry Miller, Ansel Adams, ‘Trader Vic’ Bergeron, and Melvin Belli. Bufano had a brief marriage and had one son, Erskine. Fortunately, he also had a group of patrons in the Bay area, and they attempted to see to his bodily needs. Beniamino Bufano was found dead in his San Francisco studio in August, 1970. At the time of his death of an apparent heart attack, there were over six hundred pieces of his sculpture in storage. Step back in time to the mid 1960s. A small group of Aberdeen citizens who were committed to the Friends of the Aberdeen Library began talking about the possibility of acquiring a piece of art for our building. Bob and Liz Preble spearheaded the search, and then serendipity came into the picture. Bob Street was the architect for our newly-built library, and he had had a young man working for him, Gary Hanson, who had moved on to the San Francisco area. Gary’s new employer happened to be one of Bufano’s patrons. Gary suggested that the Prebles seek out Bufano and, since the Prebles had a son in college in California, they visited Bufano at his studio. They were drawn to the wise old owl. Bufano approved of the acquisition, and, thus, the Prebles and their group of ten or twelve couples covered the cost of the sculpture. The 300-pound bronze owl rode north to Aberdeen in the back of Gary Hanson’s station wagon. It arrived in early June, 1968, and sat in the Prebles’ home until the dedication date at the library on July 3, 1968. Benny Bufano agreed to be present at the dedication; so he arrived in Portland where Jim Ingram met him and flew him to Aberdeen in his small plane. Bufano was delighted! He had traveled the world, he had worked alongside coolies on the Chinese docks, he had slept at the White House, but he had never flown in a small plane. While in Aberdeen, Bufano was a houseguest of the Prebles, and they hosted a reception for him and the donors who had purchased the owl. There were 50 onlookers that summer afternoon waiting … and waiting … and waiting for the Prebles to arrive at the dedication ceremony with Bufano. Mayor Ed Lundgren was there. Head Librarian Rosalie Spellman was there. But where was the honored guest? The Prebles had taken him to the Dunes Restaurant in Grayland for lunch and then drove him to the beach where, in an all-too-typical Grays Harbor fashion, they proceeded to get their car stuck in the sand. A wrecker saved the day, and the trio was only a half hour late to the festivities. There was loud applause and warm approval when Bob Preble unveiled The Owl that sunny July day while its diminutive creator looked on. Our Owl was the first piece of Bufano sculpture to be dedicated in the Pacific Northwest. The statue had been placed on a concrete pedestal. It is interesting to note that not one of Bufano’s many hundreds upon hundreds of other statues or mosaics is signed. Our Owl is characteristic of Bufano’s work. Simplicity was his trademark. He formed only enough features so that the viewer could recognize the subject. Bufano’s own definition of a good statue was the same as that of Michelangelo: a good statue can be rolled downhill and emerge intact. Our Owl qualifies. Bufano’s creations were intended for the masses, not for private collections, and they were made to be touched. Bufano did not declare his work complete until he stroked it with his eyes closed. If it felt right, he laid down his tools. Again, our Owl qualifies. As you visit our library, pause for a moment and smile at our Owl. Close your eyes for a few seconds while you pat him on the head and run your hand down his sides. He truly does belong to the masses, and he is begging to be touched. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/illumination daily 0.75 2022-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/579b62b6-f40d-47c8-84eb-33e83a3e73cf/ILLUMINATION.jpg Illumination - Bronze Sculpture | By Gerard Tsutakawa Illumination Location: Aberdeen Timberland Library Wishkah and I Street Concept statement by sculptor Gerard Tsutakawa “Libraries promote reading, and books offer access to a limitless world of ideas and knowledge of human experience: every corner of the world, every aspect of human existence; arts, literature, philosophy, history, commerce. Exposure to new concepts illuminates our minds and spirits. What better symbol for a library than the universal symbol of illumination, the Sun.” History Kathryn N. Sherk’s (February 2000) bequest, administered by Grays Harbor Community Foundation, for capital improvements to the Aberdeen Timberland Library, came at the time the Aberdeen Library Renovation Project was nearing completion and sparked a new vision for parking and access to the library. The City purchased the property that joined the Library to Wishkah Street with the purpose of adding much needed parking with an adjacent entrance for drivers and pedestrians. The Library Board and staff joined with community members working with the City of Aberdeen to improve sidewalks and lighting in the immediate area. They added landscaping and structural elements, color panels to an adjoining wall and commissioned “Illumination” by Gerard Tsutakawa. Today, this corner of Aberdeen stands transformed – a testimony to the many people who acted on their vision of something special for Aberdeen.

Moore Sam Benn, Founder of Aberdeen, Washington Location: Aberdeen City Hall, 200 East Market Street Council Chambers - third floor Sam Benn (1832-1935) grew up in New York City and as a young adult worked as a carpenter. For over 90 years, this oil painting of Samuel Benn has kept watch on the elected officials who oversaw the city of his founding: a silent observer of countless budget battles, zoning wars and a long parade of passing city employees and council members. History The origins of the painting are found at a meeting of local businessmen in the First Methodist Church in March of 1918. Pioneer merchant George Wolff asked his fellow capitalists to look beyond their personal accumulation of wealth. He suggested they consider the need for things of taste and sophistication and the ensuing benefit to the local people and, accordingly, lifting up Aberdeen as a place of culture. They proposed a “Pioneer Building” be erected for the exhibition of “good” paintings, sculptures and artifacts relating to and honoring the pioneers who had settled the area. Immediately a number of Aberdeen’s leading citizens pledged donations of money and materials to the cause. Thomas Benn Dyer, Sam Benn’s nephew and a talented artist, offered a number of his local paintings as a free gift to Aberdeen. One of these depicts Samuel Benn’s cabin near the Wishkah River; the painting is in the collection of the Aberdeen Museum of History. The first of the pioneer portraits was the 41-1/2 by 33-1/2 in. oil painting of Samuel Benn seated in an armchair next to a small table. To create the portrait, Benn’s children commissioned a talented photographer and oil artist from Portland, Oregon, named E.W. Moore. Moore had painted the official portraits of most of Oregon’s governors and at one time operated the city’s largest art gallery. Moore arrived in Hoquiam at the start of the year 1918 and resided with his brother O.B. Moore, before moving to the Weatherwax-Douglas building, next to the Electric Building on Heron Street. He opened a photo studio and portrait gallery. After several sittings the painting was declared completed. It was hailed by Benn’s friends and fellow pioneers to be a faithful likeness of the 85-year-old founder of Aberdeen. On May 28, 1919, the portrait was officially presented to the Aberdeen City Council by the Benn family. The date marked the 51st anniversary of Sam Benn’s arrival at the muddy, timbered realm where he would build a city. The plans for the pioneer gallery building faded and it would be over 60 years before the city had an official site to exhibit pioneer artifacts. One city hall was replaced by another and generations of city leaders passed in a blur through the chambers – but the portrait always maintained its place at the seat of Aberdeen city government. When the assembly chambers were renovated, Benn’s lively eyes and full beard now greet the public from the hallway, fittingly near a showcase of historic artifacts relating to the city’s past. The $500 oil painting gifted by his children is a priceless tribute to the pioneering founder, builder and chief promoter of this fair city. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/heaven-moon-earth daily 0.75 2022-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/4cde3a6e-2526-4ab9-9010-a2684bdd5e61/Heaven-Man-Earth-by-George-Tsutakawa-Bronze-fountain-City-Hall.jpg Heaven Moon Earth - Bronze Fountain | By George Tsutakawa Heaven, Man, and Earth Location: Aberdeen City Hall, 200 East Market Street Courtyard George Tsutakawa was a Seattle-born artist, considered to be the 20th century master of fountains. His sculptural fountains grace many public places in Seattle and around the world. He summed up his fascination with water as follows: “Our sense of continuity and rhythm is universal in water. Even in childhood, I was interested in running water, in the recycling process of water. I remember Mark Tobey talking to me about the life cycle of the universe and the fact that water moves about endlessly in its various forms; vapor, ice drops forming in the clouds to be released into the rivers. This recycling always fascinated me.” Heaven, Man, and Earth is also a classic stance in Tai Chi.

A gift to the city from Anderson & Middleton Logging Company, with nearly a century on the Harbor, is a tribute to the logging industry. The bronze sculpture funded by Anderson & Middleton and the surrounding plaza cost $200,000 and is an Aberdeen landmark. It was unveiled on November 23, 1996. It depicts three men long associated with the logging industry: Robert Sholes, owner of Sholes Logging at North River; Harry Sutton, a stacker-operator for Anderson & Middleton; and Robert Valliere, a 42-year-old from Hoquiam who has spent most of his life in the business. They depict a tree topper, a tree faller and a millworker.

The sculpture was constructed using architectural sandstone blocks that were once part of the façade of Aberdeen’s J.M. Weatherwax High School, which was built in 1909 and destroyed by fire in 2002. Well-known Northwest artist Adam Kuby designed the artwork to work as a sculpture and also as a traffic barrier, integrating earthwork, landscaping and sculpture, with the sandstone blocks ingeniously placed to create the illusion of a large, cresting ocean wave, highlighted by four of the scroll-shaped sandstone blocks serving as the crest of a 64-foot long wave shape. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/totem-poles-1-2 daily 0.75 2022-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/525dc15a-7e78-4d6c-b9ce-7884b8cf9bd3/TOTEM-POLES-1-2-RETOUCHED.jpg Totem Poles 1 and 2 - Carved and Painted Cedar | By Circus Jimmy (original) Restored by Bob Torgerson Totem Poles 1 and 2 Location: HWY 101 North, South End of Chehalis River Bridge Two totem poles stand at the south end of Chehalis River Bridge, carved and painted by the well-known Quinault carver, Circus Jimmy.

Set along the banks of the murky Wishkah River, the strangely appealing little park features a guitar sculpture, a likeness of Cobain with the lyrics to "Something in the Way," a headstone with some amusing Cobain quotes (sample: "I’m a walking bacterial infection"), a Kurt Cobain "air guitar" sculpture and a collage of Nirvana-related graffiti under the bridge itself.

The mural was completed in July 2019 and was dedicated to Jack Thompson, a long-time Port Commissioner, in a ceremony on August 20, 2019. Artists Statement: The idea for the Grays Harbor Maritime mural coalesced from two things: my experience and interest in maps and a historical map of the known shipwrecks on the Harbor, loaned to me by the Aberdeen Museum of History. Before retiring in 2005, I spent a career in civil engineering. I began that career in 1973 when maps, plans and engineering details were all done on a drafting board by hand. As you can probably guess, I took to that meticulous handwork. My field work also involved measuring land and making detailed recorded drawings of those measurements. About the time I was envisioning creating a mural depicting Grays Harbor, I was shown a map of the shipwrecks on the Harbor that occurred between 1865, with the wreck of the Decatur off the coast north of Grayland, and 1952, with the wreck of the Yorkmar off of Point Brown in Ocean Shores. This map excited me; it gave me a focus for the mural. As I began sketches for the future Harbor mural, it occurred to me to give the mural a second focus: the rich and vibrant history of the many Harbor shipping and boating concerns, the story of the Harbor. Once that second theme came into play, it was a matter of having almost too much subject matter for the mural. Besides the shipwrecks I have depicted, I included samples of the explorer ships that brought a growing and diverse community to the Harbor; the porters that moved people, goods and supplies before the roads were constructed; the tugs, the worker bees of the Harbor; the ship builders and lumber merchant ships; and the fishing fleet that has fed the people of the Harbor. With so much to depict, it becomes almost a design problem. There is always a chance of offending people with the things I have left out. You notice the almost awkward title “Grays Harbor - A Maritime History”. The “A” in that title protects me from the hubris of appearing as though I got it all and I got it right.

Artist’s Statement: (Erik Sandgren) This project began in June of 2013 with an invitation from Our Aberdeen to consider doing one of two outdoor mural projects for the community. I was to choose between the subject of Historic Aberdeen or Kurt Cobain. Instantly my response was that I would be interested in doing both at once. I wanted to place the music squarely in the landscape where I had now lived for a quarter century. It was that first moment of insight about the context, nexus and matrix of the Harbor as the birthplace of Nirvana that has directed the following twelve months of research, musing, conversation, drawing, inspiration, fundraising, listening and planning. My second realization was more gradual: that the mural really had to be about Nirvana as a group: about the miracle of their music as a confluence of many people, strands and influences. I began a search for the subject matter that would best suggest that and, through a series of drawings and collages, I sought a visual structure that could absorb the detail and convey the flow across a format dictated by the building itself. That Aberdeen was central to the development of the music was made abundantly clear to us by author Charles Cross when he visited the Aberdeen Timberland Regional Library in connection with the publication of his latest book on Cobain. In response to a question from the audience, he stated emphatically that Aberdeen owns Grunge – and that it should be celebrating that history. For me the context is properly the Harbor itself including Aberdeen: ALL its communities, economies, weather, look, history and reputations. The real mystery is how the music grew out of the place – a particular alchemy of emulation and rejection. I came to town in 1989 to be the one-person Art Department at Grays Harbor College. As relatively young faculty, I was impressed with the quality and work ethic of many of my students from here. From what does all this talent spring? The local music scenes were in the deep background for me. Then all of a sudden Nirvana was everywhere and almost as quickly Kurt was gone. I saw more tribute graffiti about him in Europe than here; obviously, something special had happened. Most people missed it in the event. In musing about my relationship to the music, I soon realized that the mural needed the addition of younger visions and voices. I wanted to work with artists from the Harbor who had heard that music earlier in their lives. As the backing for the mural project became more tangible, I reached out to artists from the Harbor who had worked with me before: David Wall, Anthony James Cotham, Dominic Senibaldi, and Jason Sobottka immediately accepted my invitation to work on the mural. We began months of trading sketches and ideas via cell phone texts and e-mails and then set up for one month of the intensely physical work of laying out the preliminary drawing and painting it on this scale. The mural is imbued with the spirit of former students, now colleagues who are deeply familiar with the place and the music. Each brought a different and necessary skill set to the project. We worked in the second-story space of the downtown Electric Building, generously made available to us by owner Kevin Moore. This teamwork has culminated in a 68-foot long mural designed for the Wishkah Street side of Moore’s Interiors. It is executed with durable One Shot enamels on Di-Bond panels installed by Rick Burgess of Coastline Signs. The collage of imagery recognizable to those who know the music and its milieu was first laid out on the panels in soluble stabilo pencil, then the quick-setting enamels were applied by brushes, air brush, printing, stippling and hand-cut stencils. The five artists together put in about 650 hours of painting time. The mural is not an apology. It is not fan art; it is not a justification; it is not hero worship; it is not Seattle. It is not about Kurt Cobain alone, though it acknowledges his tragic arc; rather, it memorializes Nirvana as a group – to some extent its present state and mostly references the Harbor here where it all began. It recognizes our All Stars, alludes to the price paid for their success, and asks us to “Think of Me.” One cannot get over the sad and sorry loss of Kurt Cobain. His train wreck of a life contrasts poignantly with the ongoing vitality of Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic as people and musicians. As I sorted through material looking for resonant imagery, the problem became what to leave out. There is so much to know and feel. Several things gradually became crystal clear to me about Nirvana that seem also be true of other significant art and artists: the root appeal of the artists’ emotional honesty; how brief a moment was their glory; how the art grew without money from the mud, noise, and need to escape; how they went all-out with the blind faith of crowd surfers leaping into space; and how problematic it is to craft attractive structures out of fundamentally disturbing material. For me the imbedded contradictions that characterize great imagery are right there in the music. Nirvana so obviously fuses incommensurable opposites that nearly everyone gets it: attraction/repulsion, loud/soft, melodic/chaotic, vulnerable/aggressive, grunge/pop, fast/slow, wanting success/rejecting popularity. The mural began to take form as a layered collage of visual facts unified by horizontal flow. Bright color areas alternate with zones dominated by black/white/grey that suggest the verse-chorus-verse contrasts of a recognizable musical pattern. Overlapping text, logos, signs, symbols, objects, portraits, landscape spaces, musical instruments are densely packed in a border of school-bus yellow. Transgressive elements break the boundaries here and there. The red stripe is Grohl’s drum work: a bright, hard and precise boundary within which everything else can be itself. The border forms a classic triad of color primaries in conjunction with the low intensity blue cladding of the building itself. The border is punctuated by the colorful names of many bands contemporary with Nirvana in the regional and national scene of indie/grunge music. The Vaselines were Scots but super-important favorites: the central names at top were most significant to them personally. A SubPop poster for Lamefest inspired the dingbats stenciled between the band names. On the left the flow begins as a stream of memory emanating from the flame of a BIC lighter held by a concertgoer. It merges with the industrial steam from Chehalis river mill stacks and extends as fog and rain over the Harbor. It moves into Think of Me Hill and right on through a photo of sweet, young Kurt into the chaos of the central zone. Piled around the photo are ingestibles, cigs and Mac’N Cheese. Kurt would drink strawberry Quik to try and settle a painful stomach. Quik mirrors the logo of Life opposite it on the mural: his life was too quick. On the right-hand side, the flow is maintained by the laces of the iconic Converse All Stars repeated elsewhere. The ambiguous Chim Chim from Cobain’s toy collection plays manic cymbals in front of the Satsop cooling towers and over Grohl’s drums: “Chaka” appears on his bass drum in the first big MTV video: that has its own story. The busted guitar evokes the violent conclusions of many performances. Distortion pedal knobs morph into clear-cut stumps moving up toward Screaming Trees. A funky Grammy award floats over a Harbor mill and hilltop radio tower. The Stargazer lily was Kurt’s over-the-top favorite flower and completes a pile of organic shapes. The large central circle reprises the structure of the building: there was a round medallion set there in the original masonry. This curve creates the golden arc of Nirvana. In the very center of everything there is a dark hole. This is the form of a vinyl record but the label is a deep void in which a relatively small Cobain turns his back on us and faces the audience and brilliant white stage lights. We are essentially missing Cobain – the presence of his absence. Flanking the center are large portraits of Novoselic and Grohl. A sequence of brightly colored profiles leading up to the portrait of Grohl is a nod to the previous drummers of Nirvana. Stage lights shimmer on either side. Below are the wanting hands of adulation. Helping hands support the crowd surfer as a Saint Sebastian with flames and drumsticks as the arrows of martyrdom. They float above the sharp silhouette of a tuttle-toothed saw – the so called “misery whip” of early Harbor loggers. Left of center two expressive hands grip a microphone that addresses an empty landscape. The voice comes from that place. A flat and pretty MTV logo introduces a chaotic crush of text and imagery. Beyond the wall of a family photograph, a young musician kneels and turns inward. He does not see the logger, the rain, the ridge-top logging, nor the Chehalis River gill-netters. His clumsy hands and impossible headstock nonetheless yield sweet petals of music that fall from the surrounding landscape. The floating baby and money, of course, is signal imagery from the album cover of Nevermind. In Utero is suggested by the heart-shaped box. Other albums are named throughout: on the amp and guitar necks. Self-proclaimed town curmudgeon Tori Kovach, as is his wont, courageously holds a sign that refers to his own Aberdeen neighborhood, Cobain Landing, and the posthumous album. Music industry logos punctuate a space on the right dominated by a wood utility pole that typifies our streets. The childhood home and hair salon of Novoselic’s mother morphs into the accordion that was his first instrument. A slim, young Krist chords away to the left on a distinctively low hanging bass guitar. Finally, the entire length of the mural surface is “defaced”: tagged by the BlackFlag stencil, grafittied with the spray-painted anarchy symbol, plastered with a concert poster, a kicked military boot-print and the safety-yellow sign This Family is Supported by Timber Dollars that was featured on so many Harbor homes and businesses during the hard times of the late eighties and early nineties. Our Aberdeen generated the funding and goodwill for a celebratory project that gives visible form to some of the feelings the Harbor has for its own music. It brought back to the Harbor a group of successful young artists who worked together under my direction, became friends and made unique contributions to the feel and flow of the imagery.

Included on the mural is a legend identifying the national flags as they were at the time of immigration. Artist’s Statement: Our Aberdeen wanted a mural depicting people of Grays Harbor. I researched into who actually made up the population of Grays Harbor. This led me to a study that the Aberdeen Museum had on the census from 1848 – 1915. The University of Washington study accomplished a deep dive into the immigrants from that 67-year period. There were expansive descriptions of families from all over the world. Grays Harbor was a vibrant melting pot of new Americans. That’s all I needed to joyfully jump into a design depicting these immigrants and the talent they brought to the harbor. I wrapped the mural with flags from that era, representing most of the immigrants included in that study.

Orr A Walk in the Park (outdoor) Location: Overpass, State and I Street The State Street off-ramp of the Chehalis River Bridge provides a unique bucolic space, which mimics the form of a Gothic bridge in New York’s Central Park which frames the mural. The trompe l’oeil scene draws viewers from main thoroughfares of downtown to enjoy the respite of a park-like scene in an unlikely place. Artist’s statement: The ramp to the Chehalis River Bridge from State Street at the end of I Street drew me in as a perfect spot for a mural. It was a blank wall at the end of I street that just called out for a mural. I originally designed three murals for the location and posted them on social media and asked people to vote for the one they liked best. Walk in the Park won out by a long shot. The inspiration for the arches came from a whimsical bridge located in Central Park in New York City. The fence around the mural was added by the WASDOT to keep homeless from camping under the ramp while I was in negotiations with them to put a mural there. The juxtaposition of the inviting park with a KEEP-OUT sign on the wall and a big fence was humorous to me and I wonder if anyone else ever notices it. There were a bunch of comments that someone might try and drive through the arch.

Orr Bubbles (outdoor) Location: 205 S. I Street Artist’s statement: After completion of the Hand and History mural, I wanted to do a mural that focuses on our youth and what they have today. The image of a young girl blowing bubbles shows images of things from our past that we still have as opposed to just old images of what we've lost. The larger bubbles show the Kirk Cobain Landing, The Lady Washington and The Chehalis River Bridge as floating orbs of inspiration. The mural is meant to inspire our young to want to create for our future rather than focus on our past.

Orr Hands and History (outdoor) Location: 120 West Heron Street Photographs of historic Aberdeen from the Jones Photo Collection. Pictures left to right include: Aberdeen Train Depot, which was located just south of the mural; Aberdeen Harbor, circa 1900; The Aberdeen Daily World (predecessor of The Daily World) delivery truck and newsboys, circa 1926; Aberdeen Theater, 1931, and the Goldberg/Boeing “Easy Pay” World War II airplane. Included on the mural is a map showing the locations of these sites. Artist’s statement: The Hands and History mural was my first mural in Aberdeen, as well as my first large-scale mural to design and paint. The commission required that I paint historic images of Aberdeen in its heyday. The idea of just recreating some old pictures didn't appeal to me. Rather, I wanted to paint a mural which would inspire younger folks driving passed it to want to stop and take a picture of it. I added my hands and added ridges to the edges to the Jones Photos I used as references, to make it seem as though someone was going through an old box of photos that they found in an attic. The hands added color to the bland black-and-white pictures. I believe that our murals need to be interesting to our young folks and that all of the murals should not only speak to our past, but also should inspire and give hope for our future as well.

Artist’s Statement: The commission to paint the Kelp Forest Mural was truly a gift to me. The Our Aberdeen folks asked me to produce a study of a subject of my choice. I have lived on the ocean for 85% of my life and have always enjoyed the freedom and play an ocean brings. There was a moment in my 10th year when I discovered the beauty and depth of the natural world and have been fascinated and in love with it ever since. When they offered me this ‘gift’ of choice, I went straight to our amazing seas. The kelp forests teem with a huge variety of fascinating species living in the forest’s graceful flows. I began collecting northwest ocean animals in my sketches and let the natural spiraling patterns of the seaweed fronds tell me where to place these creatures. I am grateful to Our Aberdeen for offering this project to me. It is my favorite mural experience so far.

Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Wishkah & F Street As hibernating mud worms, they emerged every nine years, ate voraciously, mated and died within 90 days. Extinction was always imminent! Subsidens arenalis The Subsidens arenalis, commonly referred to as the Sand Squatter, while once a common sight in Grays Harbor, is now extinct. The squatter was an amphibian that spent most of its life burrowed into the mud of the tide flats. During the first stage of their lives, sand squatters were three-inch-long mud worms feeding on dead organic matter deposited on the mud flats. After about six months, the worms formed cocoons and hibernated for nine years, finally emerging by the thousands as small sand squatters. They would grow to maturity, mate and die within 90 days. Sadly, the actions of the squatter during its short life span led to its demise. Its voracious appetite forced it to enter homes and eat any uncovered food. The squatter was territorial and would mark its territory by constantly squatting and making rancid deposits. The squatter was so disliked that in 1901, Governor Boggs issued the now infamous extermination order. Within ten years, the Sand Squatter was extinct. In July of 2002, a local demolition contractor uncovered a perfectly preserved specimen in an old underground tank. The specimen is currently at the University of Washington, where scientists are studying its DNA. It is hoped that within the decade it will be possible to clone a squatter. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/chinhook-salmon daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/a9a387a3-9a3b-4aab-9bf2-1cb3c56e328e/CHINOOK-SALMON.jpg Critter: Chinhook Salmon - Chinhook Salmon Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Wishkah & G Street Salmo mentihamatus Chinookiorum The Salmo mentihamatus Chinookiorum, commonly known as the Chinhook Salmon, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. Up until the early 1930s, the area rivers literally turned silver with the massive fall run of the Chinhook. Many a poor Aberdeenian subsisted on the ample supply of Chinhook. Most Chinhook were eaten raw, baked, fried, or broiled. Due to the high cost of tobacco, smoking dried, shredded Chinhook was common among early mill workers. When smoked, the Chinhook had a slight hallucinogenic effect. While never ruled illegal, the smoking of Chinhook was the subject of many a local Sunday sermon. Because of the high demand for the dried Chinhook, large gill netting operations nearly depleted the breeding stock. Thanks to the efforts of a small local hatchery, there is now a modest annual run. The Chinhook have been known to swim upstream in the storm drainpipes to spawn. The young fry live the first five months of their lives in pools found in the bottom of the storm drain catch basins. By placing your face close to the grate on a catch basin and quietly humming almost any country western tune, you can get the fish to swim near the surface. Since 1957 it has been illegal to smoke a Chinhook Salmon or sell smoked Chinhook within the city limits of Aberdeen. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/pile-python daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/0f4592d1-4a69-48ac-9431-9ea03de38048/PILE-PYTHON.jpg Critter: Pile Python - Pile Python Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Wishkah & H Street Python cumulatus The Python cumulatus, commonly known as the Pile Python, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. Pile Pythons are water snakes having a life expectancy of 80 years; the males have been known to reach lengths of 30 feet. While there have been no documented cases of any resident of Grays Harbor being attacked by a python, an unusual number of missing persons reports have always cast suspicion on the python. The pile python got its name because it would anchor its tail in the mud, coil up its body, and stick its head straight up out of the water, resembling one of the many wooden piles seen driven in the mud along the riverbanks. During the height of the logging boom, there were scores of logging operations along the river. All the logs and ships moving back and forth on the river took a toll on the pythons; many were just smashed between the floating logs. The few pile pythons that still exist can easily be seen if you go down to the river on a moonlit night and scan the piles, watching for movement. The python is seen as a beneficial creature because it promotes the restoration of salmon by keeping the harbor seal population in check. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/bald-beagle daily 0.75 2022-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/2ad13b07-6753-48dd-aa28-9778c03033f9/BALD-BEAGLE.jpg Critter: Bald Beagle - Bald Beagle Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Wishkah & Broadway Canis auriculus clavus The Canis auriculus clavus, commonly known as the Bald Beagle, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. The Bald Beagle is a very mild-mannered and social creature. Unlike other canine creatures, it is a strict vegetarian and especially delights in wild berries and mushrooms. The Bald Beagle took readily to the early settlers and many were kept as pets. Unaccustomed to human diseases, the Bald Beagle population was nearly wiped out by a small pox epidemic in 1903. Virtually the only survivors were those that had been kept as pets and had been fed chicken noodle soup. The Bald Beagle is a very intelligent animal. In fact, one was enrolled in school in 1947, graduated valedictorian, and was elected prom king. When the school board refused to let him speak at the graduation, a spirited community debate ensued which resulted in the passage of a city ordinance making it illegal to keep a Bald Beagle as a pet within the city limits of Aberdeen. Unfortunately when all the Bald Beagles were turned loose in the wild, most died because they had lost their natural survival skills. The Bald Beagles have become very reclusive and are hard to find; however, some still can be seen if you walk the logging roads at night. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/barkbeetle-beggar daily 0.75 2022-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/c2ac4888-6e13-496f-af8d-2608074ddcfc/BARKBEETLE-BEGGAR.jpg Barkbeetle Beggar - Barkbeetle Beggar Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Wishkah & I st Scarabaeus corticulus mendicus The Scarabaeus corticulus mendicus, commonly known as the Barkbeetle Beggar, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. The Barkbeetle Beggar lives in the upper branches of trees and subsists on sap sucked from trees. There has never been any evidence to support the locally-held belief that the Beggars’ sucking weakens the trees; in fact, a recent study by Dr. Parry Sites indicates it actually stimulates foliage growth. The Barkbettle Beggar produces a shrill noise that sounds like a crying child whenever a tree is cut in which they are roosting. So unnerving was this sound to the early loggers (before the advent of chainsaws) that young boys were often hired to remove the Beggars before the loggers started cutting. One such boy, Billy Whimple, captured a number of Beggars and kept them in his chicken pen. Amazingly, Billy found that the Beggars were very intelligent and could be taught to sing. On Christmas Eve, 1949, Billy surprised the community by having his Beggar group go caroling door to door singing the Hallelujah Chorus. So incensed was one city councilman with the idea of a “bug” singing gospel in public that a City Ordinance was passed prohibiting public singing by Beggars. For reasons unknown, the Beggar population declined and today there are only a few hundred left. A hiker can still hear the reclusive Beggar return a melody from the tree tops if he only sings loudly while walking in the woods. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/grizzly-hare daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/f3b9ef24-9c3a-4224-aa81-2ec9a4d77b6e/GRIZZLY-HARE.jpg Grizzly Hare - Grizzly Hare Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Heron & K Street Lepus horribilis The Lepus horribilis, locally known as the Grizzly Hare, is an extinct species once found in the Grays Harbor area. Up until the early 1930s, Grizzly Hares were commonly seen grazing in the old-growth forests. The Grizzly Hares were social animals living in communal burrows with one chief matriarch. While known to be quite pleasant creatures, they were absolutely fearless in defending their territories. If someone tried to destroy their burrows, they would attack in packs of 10 to 20. The strength and ferocity shown in defending their turf earned them the nickname “Grizzly.” A local high school even adopted the Grizzly as its official school mascot. The only natural enemy of the Grizzly was the Bobcat. Unfortunately, the clear cutting of the old-growth forest exposed the Grizzly to another enemy: “man.” Unregulated hunting decimated the Grizzly population and the last Grizzly Hare was seen in 1951. Fortunately, in February of 2003, Mary Elmer of Humptulips was defrosting her freezer and found a wrapped, frozen Grizzly. The remains were sent to Korea where lab experiments have recently produced the first cloned Grizzly Hare. While the Korean lab plans to begin commercial production of the Grizzly to compete with the sagging Asian poultry industry, the EPA is negotiating for a cloned breeding pair to be reintroduced to the Grays Harbor area. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/bull-snout daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/b3b00478-4929-47ac-ac6a-07aedf84bc60/BULL-SNOUT.JPG Bull Snout - Bull Snout Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Heron & Broadway Rostrum taurinum ingens The Rostrum taurinum ingens, commonly known as the Bull Snout, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor, thought to have originated when a bull stumbled into a swamp, making mad passionate love to a fish before expiring. The Bull Snout made its first appearance near the solvent-laden waters of South Aberdeen’s Shannon Slough, which in times past served as a secret dump site for the Wheresmyhouse Company as well as a spawning ground for many of the Harbor’s more mutated species. Transient Cleavis May Field was first to spot the Snout while cooking beans and weenies over a campfire. Spotting something in the distance, he moved in for a closer look and, aided by the slough’s phosphorescent glow, discerned the odd creature, exclaiming, “Must be a bad batch of Sterno.” Realizing the Snout was real and not imaginary, Cleavis sought financial backing in order to build underwater corrals in which to breed the animals for monetary gain. Unfortunately, Bull Snout meat turned out to be tough, stringy and oily, and the business venture failed. Both Cleavis and his investors went belly up. As for the Bull Snout, its numbers plummeted when the government implemented a mandatory cleanup of the slough, its ability to thrive apparently being dependent on a polluted environment. As a result, Snout sightings are rare these days. If, however, you’re out on a dark night near sudsy, solvent-laden waters and fancy you’ve seen a “cow-fish” or even a “fish-cow,” then you have spied yourself a Bull Snout. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/aberbeanie daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/ea068c4a-6142-4fac-a334-573ad56af451/ABERBEANIE.jpg Aberbeanie - Aberbeanie Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Heron & I Street Fabricula Aberdiniensis The Fabicula Aberdiniensis, commonly known as the Aberbeanie, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. Up until the late 1890s, the musical notes produced by the Beanies’ beaks were commonly heard echoing through the forest. The Beanie possessed an uncanny ability to mimic musical sounds. Every fall the Beanies would bore into the hillsides and hibernate for 8 months. When they emerged from hibernation in the early summer, they would eat almost any plant except skunk cabbage. Because of their spiny bodies, they had no natural enemies. Unfortunately, some Asian cultures became convinced that Beanie beaks when ground to pulp could be used to produce a potent aphrodisiac. The tragic hunting of the musical Beanies for this early pulp business devastated the Beanie population. The few remaining Beanies found refuge in the Olympic wilderness area. With the passage of a ban on Beanie hunting in 1937, the Beanies have slowly migrated back to the Grays Harbor area. Their musical abilities have been recognized locally, where they have played in the Grays Harbor Philharmonic Orchestra as well as in various bars and taverns. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/hoquiam-honker daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/74760bc0-db43-429e-bd47-6c69d59cd83f/HOQUIAM-HONKER.jpg Hoquiam Honker - Hoquiam Honker Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Heron & H Street Fistulator sonorus hoquiamensis The Fistulator sonorus hoquiamensis, commonly known as the Hoquiam Honker, was a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. Up until the early 1900s, the Harbor resounded with the Honkers’ melodious mating calls. Early settlers found that the Honker’s tail could be fashioned into a horn to produce a variety of goose calls. Because of the high demand for quality goose calls in the early 1900’s, the Honkers were hunted to near extinction. The coming of the automobile to the Harbor dealt the final blow to the once numerous Honker herds. The horns of the automobiles were mistaken by the Honker as a mating call and literally thousands were killed as Honkers would venture onto the roadway in search of love, only to have an ill-fated amorous encounter with a bumper or fender. There are now less than 20 known Honkers still existing in the Harbor. Your best bet to experience the thrill of actually seeing a Honker is to park your car next to a wooded area, leave your lights on, and repeatedly honk your horn. It is hoped that a captive breeding program operated by the Save the Honker Foundation will be able to re-establish a healthy Honker herd. If you are successful, Dingle Blossom would like to be advised. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/spotted-howl daily 0.75 2022-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/5528eba4-32e3-48cc-99ca-f5a65ff071a5/howl-unrestored.png Spotted Howl - Spotted Howl Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglass C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Heron & F Street The Howl roosts in old-growth cedars and sings in three-part harmony. If not spotted in its night roost, you may find Howl at a day-time haunt at the Hoquiam Department of Licensing on Sumner Avenue. It’s where all the the birds hang out! Exululo maculosus The Exululo maculosus, commonly known as the Spotted Howl, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. Up until the late 1910s, the forlorn chorus of the Spotted Howl was a common sound throughout the Harbor. On clear, moonlit nights the Howls would often gather into small flocks and fly from their roosts in the tidal wetlands to the top of old-growth cedars where they would howl at the moon in three-part harmony. In 1919 a local millwright discovered that the Howl tasted almost exactly like turkey. Shortly thereafter a local franchise of Colonel Slanders’ Kentucky Fried Turkey opened in Aberdeen and the number of Howls began to steadily decrease. Within a four-year period, over-hunting had decimated the Spotted Howl flock to the point that Colonel Slanders had to switch to chicken. On July 3, 1927, a true ecological disaster occurred: the Howls were happily serenading the moon when suddenly a full lunar eclipse occurred. The Howls suddenly became quiet, took off in single-formation flight toward the harbor, and committed mass suicide by diving headfirst into the mudflats. The only howls left were the young who could not yet fly, most of which fell victim to the elements. Fortunately, a number of the young howls were rescued and raised as a science fair project by Ms. Sara Beesley’s third-grade class. A small number were released into the wild, and their numbers have slowly increased; there are now at least 31 Spotted Howls on the Harbor. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/wishkah-winker daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/a2708a8d-2004-48bc-b5f6-e96a610d56eb/WISHKAH-WINKER.jpg Wishkah Winker - Wishkah Winker Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Heron & G Street Nictatrix nocturna wishkana The Nictatrix nocturna wishkana, commonly known as the Wishkah Winker, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. Typically seen only at night, the Wishkah Winker has disproportionately large eyes that allow for enhanced night vision as well as the ability to survey the murky depths of the Wishkah River. The Wishkah Winker is also known as the Kissing Frog. Local legend states that a couple who spies a Winker while they are in the midst of an embrace will be blessed with a long and happy relationship. This may account for the number of places to park along the river. Unfortunately, the pressure caused by the weight of vehicles along the banks has compacted the soil and decreased the Urchin Worm habitat, one of the Winker’s primary food sources. The end result of this loss of Urchin Worm habitat, of course, is the Wishkah Winker’s current status as an endangered species – along with an associated increase in unhappy relationships among young lovers on the Harbor. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/mud-puffer-extinct daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/21ecde0b-e781-43ee-affd-aa3e4f0a1693/Ninja-not-found.png Mud Puffer (extinct?) - Mud Puffer Artist: John & Robin Gumaelius Restored by: Douglas C. Orr Stories by Larry Bledsoe Location: Unknown! Avis into inflata The Avis Into inflata, commonly known as the Mud Puffer, is a rare and endangered species found only in Grays Harbor. This birdlike creature is named for its preference for muddy environments and a tendency to inflate when provoked. Initially the Mud Puffer flourished along the area’s coastal beaches. Sucking its cheeks full of mud, it then spat, filtering out edible matter such as tiny clams, crabs and insects. In the mid-1800’s, the Mud Puffer’s colorful feathers caught the attention of one Mr. Snidely Von Hauttentrotter. A businessman, snake-oil salesman and attorney by trade, Snidely had in mind to make a mint. Hiring several men of like character, he set about catching the birds, a relatively easy task considering they were flightless, awkward and somewhat dimwitted. Under cover of moonlight, Snidely’s men trapped the Puffers and relieved them of their feathers, which were sold to a ladies-hat manufacturer in France. Having made a killing, Snidely hoped to breed the birds for their feathers and reap even more profits, but this venture proved futile. Because the birds do not do well in captivity, they failed to reproduce; moreover, Mud Puffer feathers, once removed, do not grow back. Determining that the nude, spineless birds were without value, Snidely released them at an undisclosed location near Copalis Beach where tragedy ensued. A little-known characteristic of Mud Puffers is their extreme modesty. As their bodies began to turn up along Copalis beaches, government researchers determined that the cause of death was only sometimes exposure to the elements. Many of the Puffers, it turns out, died of embarrassment. https://www.ouraberdeen.com/traffic-control-covers daily 0.75 2022-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130226981-7A0U8FF887163A5X3BJS/Spine-Wart-wishkah-f-st-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130310929-XAI1SB7XV0AHBQ5FZV5U/Swamp-vine-wishkah-g-st-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130407185-24MO21LA6O0J931DGJL4/Tea-Cup-Lily-wishkah-H-st-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130513830-5ZCV2NDB9UOLPG4D08M5/Dog-Tail-wishkah-i-st-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130583760-CCGDQGE3FA9GYR0F5AWE/Snap-Cragons-wiskah-broadway-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130651665-KJZT5WEBZLM643OFFB6M/Snake-Vine-Heron-K-st-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130720826-3WP0CYZC2EP5ZDCWVU51/Toe-Fungus-Heron-Broadway-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130766697-MMY5FEMCNLATWOI5OGC5/Cats-Paw-Heron-I-St-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130844944-TJ368SSOFQDB4ZPB2ZB0/Dingle-Blossom-Heron-H-St-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1645130930206-XT6B8A9U04A69EIACMW4/Whine-Berry-Heron-G-St-unrestored.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/1644268486440-ZEMZ9K0GQF0TFYNVCNGK/CHINOOK-SALMON.jpg Traffic Control Covers https://www.ouraberdeen.com/terms-of-service daily 0.75 2022-02-17 https://www.ouraberdeen.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2022-02-17 https://www.ouraberdeen.com/historical-homes-by-style daily 0.75 2022-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e34254761f6a05f13d8c/4379d712-fadf-49c5-a3d4-a83e06cc6fab/Harbor-View-Inn-111-113-West-11th.jpg Historical Homes by Style 111 and 113 West Eleventh Street – built in 1905 – The Dr. Wilson B.
