when I went to school in the 70’s there the bridge was in use it would go to the feed lot and pick up beans from the bean plant, I remember skipping school and seeing the massive oil engine housed in the cabin to move the bridge for vessels, yup in the day Everett and Snohomish were just as busy surpassing Seattle in the lumber trade, surprised that bridge is still there, I skipped school one day during the big flood of 74 the water was about one foot below the lowest pint of the bridge, thats no joke, I remember seeing cows come floating down then hitting the undercarriage if the bridge gussets and getting forced under the water completely then they would come popping back up about 20 foot down like a cork, I remember guy faucet and terry were with me skipping school to check out the monster flood, my ma was cooking at the silver king I remember being afraid for her as the water was up to the window
