A view of Lake Stevens for the wall, a story from the region's mining past or a coloring book for a young history fan: the Lake Stevens Historical Museum has several gift ideas with local roots this holiday season.
The museum has announced that its 2027 Lake Calendar is now available for $20. The Lake Stevens Historical Society's online shop describes a collection of lake photographs by local photographers and says calendar purchases support the creation of exhibits for its new museum.
Books for readers who enjoy the region's stories
The shop also lists Heart's Gold and Better Than Gold by Joan Rawlins Husby for $20 each. They make up her Monte Cristo Memories historical-fiction series. Husby grew up in the North Cascades near Monte Cristo, the mining town in her novels.
For children, Where I Live...Lake Stevens is a $3 coloring book with short lessons about the community's history. The shop also carries memoirs and other regional-history titles.
Where to buy and pick up
Orders can be placed through the historical society's online shop. It lists $5 shipping for a calendar. Book shipping is listed separately at $5 for one book, $7 for two or $8 for three; check the options for your order before paying.
For local book pickup, the museum's Nov. 11 announcement lists its temporary storage location at 12301 Northlake Shore Drive, Lake Stevens, on Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m.
The museum also says books can be picked up at Grimm House during two upcoming community celebrations:
- Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., during Festival of Trees.
- Saturday, Dec. 12, 2026, 4 to 7 p.m., during WinterFest.
