NOTES
This organ was originally built for the Arlington, WA. residence of Jence F. Thompson.
In 1969, it was moved by Wicks representative Charles W. Allen of Seattle, WA. to First
Methodist Church in Marysville. It was installed in elevated, side-by-side chambers at
the front of the church. The Swell is on the left and the Great is on the right. First
Methodist began to outgrow their building, so in 1990 they built a new facility further
east, and got a new II-manual, Wicks pipe organ with 7 voices, 33 stops (including chimes),
7 ranks, and 487 pipes. The old church was sold to a Unitarian Universalist congregation
from Everett who changed their name to Evergreen Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
All of the 8' and 4' stops play for 68 notes except those which have a short bass octave.
The Great 1-3/5' Dolce Tierce plays for 57 notes before its top four notes break back one
octave in pitch. The Great 8' Quintadena is a synthetic stop derived from the 8' Doppel
Gedeckt at 8' and 2-2/3' pitches. The Swell 8' Orchestral Oboe is also a synthetic stop
derived from the 8' Salicional and the Doppel Gedeckt at 2-2/3' pitch.
