Actors in the worst play to hit the Snohomish stage were forced to escape out the windows when the audience starting to throw eggs at them.

"The Times Special Service. Snohomish, Friday, March 26, 1909 — The Three of a Kind Company, a decidedly barn-storming aggregation, reached a dramatic climax at the Alcazar Theatre last evening when the audience rose en masse during the first act and threatened to present the play actors with a choice selection of eggs as a mark of their lack of appreciation.

"The stage manager promptly dropped the curtain to prevent any further demonstration. The audience waited a few minutes and as there were no further indications that the play would be resumed, a few bolder spirits went behind the scenes. They did so just in time to see the members of the company — four young women and several men — making frantic exits from handy windows.”

The first airplane to carry mail took off from Harvey Field.

Noble Harvey established a family-owned airfield in 1945, which the family still operates as Harvey Airfield.  In 1911, Nobel purchased the first automobile in the county, the same year he hosted the first airplane flight. Fred J. Wiseman’s flight in Snohomish was cut short by rain-soaked, fabric-covered wings and it ended in a muddy but safe nose-dive after reaching only 60 feet in altitude. The amazing machine was repaired, continued to break records, and is currently hanging in the Smithsonian Postal Museum as the first plane to carry the mail.
