A Birthday

Happy Birthday to Okanogan which turns 105 today.  Okanogan should not be confused with the other towns named Okanogan that did not vote to incorporate on this day in 1907.  Those towns have either ceased to exist or changed their names.  Of Okanogan's 318 residents 75 of them voted in the 1907 election, with the yeas carrying the day 74 to 1.  By 1914 Okanogan had wrestled the county seat from Conconully.  Tonight's photo is of the Okangan County Courthouse.
