The Stillaguamish Valley
Genealogical Society and Library was founded in 1985 and
a year later obtained non-profit status. Our library has grown
to include thousands of rare and interesting books, microfilm
and microfiche sets, and internet access to prepaid genealogy web sites. We
have gathered historical information pertaining to the northern
part of Snohomish County and the Stillaguamish Valley, and its
native populations and early settlers. The collection also contains
material for all U.S. states and many foreign countries. This
information is available to members and visitors during regular
library hours.
