- McCoy Creek is a small to moderate sized stream which originates in a handful of small lakes on the north slope of the mountains due south of the town of Sultan. As the creek makes its final tumble to meet the Skykomish River it produces a surprisingly significant waterfall considering how low in the valley and how close to the Puget Sound lowlands it is. The falls have a total drop of 58 feet as the creek veils out across a semi-bulbous cliff face before contracting into a narrow sluice at its base. Just upstream from the falls is the remnants of a small concrete dam which suggests the stream was at one time used for a small amount of hydro power (it likely isn’t old enough, nor is the stream big enough to have been related to mill operation).

Zebedee (/ˈzɛbɪdiː/ ZEB-id-ee; Ancient Greek: Ζεβεδαῖος, romanized: Zebedaîos; Hebrew: זְבַדְיָה, romanized: Zəḇaḏyâ), according to all four Canonical Gospels, was the father of James and John, two apostles of Jesus. The gospels also suggest that he was the husband of Salome; whereas Mark 15:40 names the women present at the crucifixion as “Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and Salome,” the parallel passage in Matthew 27:56 has “Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.” The Catholic Encyclopedia concludes that the Salome of Mark 15:40 is probably identical with the mother of the sons of Zebedee in Matthew.
