Northern Exposure

This sign says that the Brick is not only famous for being in Northern Exposure in its 1990 - 1995 series it is also the oldest operating saloon in the State of Washington. It was built in 1889 with brick manufactured in Roslyn. The bar was shipped from England around Cape Horn. The longevity of the chairs and tables is owed to Sears & Roebuck.

The picture on the right is of a tough along the bar and has running water in it. We believe it is in lieu of the usual spitoon.




This fellow is part of the Roslyn Militia!!! and one of the Brick's bartender and waiter.

Ruth Ann's grocery store and KBHR radio station are still there.

We bought the t-shirts from the Brick and one of the many tourists we visited with took our pictures.


In Roslyn was the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. It is one of the most beautiful churches I have seen.

On the way back to Cle Elm we noticed a very unusual sight -- like I have said you never know what you will see along the road. There were approximately 20 wheel barrels stacked on top of each other beside this tree.
