About this listen

 Join your host, Clayton Hall, as we explore the formative years of one of Sedro-Woolley's notable figures. After his military service, Mortimer Cook embarked on a series of adventures: seeking gold on the Fraser River, operating a ferry in British Columbia, building the first iron bridge near Topeka, Kansas, and serving as a banker and mayor in Santa Barbara, California. Discover how these diverse experiences led him to the Puget Sound, setting the stage for his later contributions to Sedro-Woolley.
