Skagit and Snohomish Counties in Washington saw an influx of Western North Carolina migrants between 1900 and 1950 settling in Darrington, Sedro-Woolley and Lyman and bringing their customs, culture, and traditions. In 1947 the census shows 500 out of Darrington’s 850 person population were from WNC. Still today, 85% of Darrington’s population has ties to WNC, mostly from Jackson County. As the timber industry depleted resources in Southern Appalachia, many people followed large-scale logging operations out to the Pacific Northwest which came to be knows as the Great Migration. In this 2017 interview with Emerson and Margaret Blanton we hear about Emerson’s migration to Washington to work in the timber industry, and of Margaret’s experience growing up in Washington to parents that were Jackson County locals.
