- Spada Lake - Culmback Dam (wta.org)
Culmback Dam and Spada Lake are a lovely retreat off Highway 2, just east of Sultan and up the Sultan Basin Road. Spada Lake is a source of drinking water for the City of Everett, so in-water activities are prohibited, but there are hiking trails that circle the lake and nearby just waiting for your exploration.

- Everett — Thumbnail History (historylink.org)
Once called the “City of Smokestacks,” Everett has a long association with industry and labor. Its first beginnings were two Native American settlements at opposite sides of the heavily wooded region, one on the Snohomish River and the other on Port Gardner Bay. Platted in the 1890s and named after the son of an early investor, it soon attracted the attention of East Coast money. Over the next 100 years, Everett would be a formidable logging mill and industrial center. In 2005, Everett numbered 96,000 citizens.

Angelo and I decided to make a replica driven by a innovative type of emulator: though ported to C, it does not emulate the machine at the logic level, but on the circuit level.
