This award-winning project submitted by Skagit County was a major research project archiving historical newspaper articles on Skagit River floods dating over more than a century. Participants in the project were Larry Kunzler, his son Josef Kunzler, and Skagit County Communications Director Dan Berentson. Special thanks to Skagit Valley Herald Publisher Stedem Wood and Argus Editor Tony Flynn and Courier Times Editor Ruth Richardson for their cooperation in this project. Kristine Perkins at the Burlington City Library also was very helpful with their Burlington Journal archives.
