Cedar Mill c. 1961

This photo was shared with the Cedar Mill Historical Society by Natalie Schneck. It came with the house her family purchased, visible just north of Terra Linda woods. Cedar Mill Historical Society is always interested in early photos of the area—families, homes, businesses and farms! Contact us if you have old photos or other historical stuff!

By Jennifer Imai

As the daylight hours diminish and sunny days are few and far between, we Pacific Northwesterners brace ourselves for winter.
