Description
EN
"In 1897, gold was discovered in the mountains nearby and Sumas quickly grew to more than 2,000 residents as gold miners and mining suppliers moved in. After the gold rush subsided and trees were cleared, the town began to shrink and businesses shifted to support the growing farming industry surrounding the town. Dairy farms sprouted in the valley and still play an important role in the area's economy. The farmers, many of Dutch origin, and other area towns further tamed the flood prone valley with a series of dikes and channels. This opened the valley to an abundance of dairy and crop farming. Today, Sumas hosts several forest products businesses as well as businesses supporting farms in the surrounding area."

So there you go, the sleepy little border-burg of Sumas WA has a "rich" history represented by this fun statue located at a small but often busy business.

Parking nearby and a short walk or roll to these coordinates on the public sidewalk will give you what you need to compelte this virtual cache.
