Eatonville

 

In the shadow of Mount Rainier, Eatonville is celebrating 100 years this fall. Sabrina Register spoke with the town's mayor, Tom Smallwood, and Centennial Chair Bob Walter, about the festivities that were held in October 2009.

While in Eatonville, take advantage of seeing beautiful works at art 
at Four Winds Studio and Gallery. Native American artist Dave Craig's impressive works are displayed, as well as jewelry and baskets.

And on the outskirts of town is the zoological park, NorthWest Trek. Native North American wildlife is viewed from the comfort of a tram. It's an incredible way to enjoy our lovely Northwest environment and marvel at nature.
