The Bush House From the Everett Herald
Saving a historic hotel in Index
The Bush House makes a list of state landmarks to save.

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.

I looked at the bush house for the first time the other day and I thought it was the most beautiful building that I had ever seen. I would have loved to be there to see it at its prime. I think that the building should stay and should remain one of Washingtons land marks! Good luck Waylon!
