It seems the meteor which hit Washington state was
larger than
many first claimed...possibly as big as a car.
It hit near a town
whose root name is "sleeping waters"....an accurate
description
of the "state" of the church here in the U.S.:
Matthew 25
1 "At that time the kingdom of heaven
will be like ten virgins who
took their lamps and went out to meet
the bridegroom. 2 Five of
them were foolish and five were wise.
3 The foolish ones took their
lamps but did not take any oil with
them. 4 The wise, however, took
oil in jars along with their lamps.
5 The bridegroom was a long
time in coming, and they all became
drowsy and fell asleep.

Meteor may have hit near Snohomish
Associated Press
SEATTLE - A meteor that lighted Western Washington's
night sky
early Thursday may have landed near Snohomish, a
University of
Washington scientist says.Earthquake technology
indicated the
meteor exploded about 27 miles above and 6.4 miles
northeast of
Snohomish, said William Steele, coordinator of the
Pacific Northwest
Seismograph Network at the university.The blast
was intense enough
to register on about 80 earthquake detectors, allowing
university
seismologist Stephen Malone use triangulation to
determine the
point of origin."What was interesting to us is we
saw only a point
source (a single explosion) there," rather than
a sonic boom kind
of sound wave from an object rapidly entering the
atmosphere,
Malone said.One of Smith's colleagues, professor
Don Brownlee,
said he believes it's likely the object made it
to the ground without
disintegrating, but it could be hard to find over
several square miles.
It could also be as big as a car, Brownlee noted.
He added, "The
bigger these things are, the rarer they are."

Historic City of Snohomish
The City of Snohomish was founded in 1860 by E.C.
Ferguson and
E.F. Cady. The city was first known as Cadyville
and later changed to
Snohomish City in 1871, named after the dominant
indian tribe in the
area "sdoh-doh-hohbsh" which means sleeping waters.
Once known
for its logging industry, the City of Snohomish
is now famous for its
antiques. Historic downtown features turn-of-the-century
buildings,
many of which still stand today.

intersection of 1st Street and Avenue "D". The Pinnacle
Building
(far left) was built in 1882. This existing structure
was utilized as
an auto garage around 1910. The hotel next door
has since been
demolished and is now our front parking lot.
