The Mukilteo Colony Pitch: A 19th Century Developer’s Dream

The most valuable Mukilteo townsite property is divided into twenty-two strips of about nine acres each, extending from tide land, so as to include meadow and garden land, besides timber land on the bluff. Five of these fine locations are already sold. Credit will be given at low rates of interest to those unable to pay cash down. Also, desirable property on the front for sale or lease on reasonable terms for business purposes. The natural advantages of Mukilteo are not excelled by any other place on the Sound for fishing, milling, ship building or manufacturing purposes. All the steamers down the Sound to Snohomish, Whatcom and Island Counties stop there going and returning. It is also on the direct route of steamers up the Sound. There is also an excellent location for establishing warehouses, in which to ship the products of Snohomish, Whatcom and Island Counties in deep water vessels. In addition to the above, will be sold 320 acres of the finest marsh land in the Territory, known as the Hurley Ranch, with 200 acres of upland. This is only four miles from Snohomish City on La Grande Marsh. Well drained, not subject to overflow, soil extra fertile, dry and nearly ready for the plow. Just the location for a colony! As it can be subdivided into forty acre tracts, each of which will yield an abundant support for a family.
