QUOTE
“People driving through on Highway 9 might think it’s just a wide spot in the road, but if you actually stopped here you’d find out we’re a very friendly community. People are always kind and courteous giving directions at the major intersections.”
Tom Jones, Nooksack resident for more than 50 years
