I know who I am and have nothing whatsoever to do with Skykomish other than it is a place to fan. I've been to the hotel when it was open, and was sad when it closed. The hotel is tied up with GN history, and would be of interest to any railfan, so I take a look at it every time I go up there. You couldn't really miss the notice posted on the door. And the building is dilapidated. How it got that way and who is responsible for the condition, I really have no idea.

Any, yes, we were just a couple of good old boys, from the well populated parts of King County (as opposed to Skykomish), and Skykomish means nada to us except as a place to railfan and maybe stop for a beer.
