Bainbridge Island Book "Let It Go, Louie" Croatian Immigrants on Puget Sound - 02/10/11 03:43 PM
ISLAND HISTORIC TIDBITS Our Island has a strong fishing and boatbuilding history, and Croatian immigrants figure strongly in it. It was they who pioneered the tactic of stalking fish and then surrounding them in large, purse-like nets. And, they ranged further than the "gill-netters", piloting larger, faster vessels into the Bering Sea on their quest for Salmon. When Barbara Winther & Gary Loverich chose a title for their book on Croatian migration and assimilation into Northwest fishing and boatbuilding history, they chose to call it Let It Go, Louie: Croatian Immigrants on Puget Sound, after a catch phrase that came about when … (0 comments)

Cash buyers lift Real Estate market - 02/10/11 03:38 PM
