Mud Wrestling, 9/14/03

Much of north Everett was built on landfill and can get terribly muddy. True story told by Everett historian Dave Dilgard... In the late 1890's a gentleman found a hat lying in the middle of Hewitt Avenue went to pick it up and there was a man's head under it. He told the gentleman to get some help as he had sunk in the mud and was sitting on his horse.
