The Bush House From the Everett Herald

Saving a historic hotel in Index

The Bush House makes a list of state landmarks to save.

By Debra Smith
Herald Writer
INDEX — Waylon Robert remembers a time when the Bush House hummed with activity.

In the space of a few years, the pioneer-era hotel at the heart of this mountain town has fallen into disrepair.

The owner shut the hotel down a few years ago and vandals and weather quickly took their toll.

Now the building’s roof is leaking, and broken windows are boarded over.

The sight so disturbed 12-year-old Waylon that he decided to do something about it.
