No. Just plain no. I didn’t think there was an actual traditional courthouse here, or if there was, I couldn’t find it. Turns out there used to be one, but I didn’t get over to see it. This is the County Commissioners and Administration Office. It makes sense that this is where the county is run out of.

And award it I did. Once all business was completed around here, it was back to the road, away from the hustle and bustle of the megalopolis that is Seattle and all the surrounding cities, to quieter environs such as those found in…

I think I will need to put this on my list of caches to find. Great find!
