Your Stanwood Chronicles: The “Hamilton stack,” a smokestack, was built in 1927 to elevate the smoke from burning refuse from shingle mills so it wouldn’t blow into town. The smokestack is seasonally decorated with lights by volunteers from the Lion’s Club and Fire Department. (It has a lighted pumpkin on it right now!) The mill stopped running in early 1930s and the property was then taken over by the Hamilton family in about 1945. They operated the current lumber company by that name and until 1960 also had a small mill. The mill at this site was continually plagued by fires, destroying attempts to upgrade until the 1960s when it was closed in anticipation of new State Route 532 proposed through the area.
