"History of the Pacific Northwest: The Place Where it All Began"
“THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN” is an in-depth history of Northern Puget Sound centered on the Marysville, Washington area.
From the Pleistocene Era 10,000 years ago, when giant mastodons grazed here, to the days of the rail route from Seattle to Vancouver, BC,
this is the story of how immigrants and natives interacted with the forest and the land. The good and bad aspects of 200 years of growth and
change are reviewed by the Marysville Historical Society. This new film documentary by Jeff Stephen Maki contains a wealth of detailed facts and
images. You will gain a deep knowledge and appreciation for the people and times which lead to the present age in Northern Puget Sound.
