2005-06-27 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is free-standing and encased at the front of the room, but on an elevated platform about 10' above the sanctuary. The facade is 3-sectional containing 27 pipes arranged 5-17-5. the two side "towers" of 5 pipes each are notes 1-10 of the Great 8' Open Diapason. The console is not a "full-fledged" horseshoe-shaped console, but rather that modified form used by Wicks and Morton in the 1920s. The organ was ordered thru Sherman Clay & Co. in Seattle, bears their nameplate, and is reported to have cost $4,000.00. It was built by the Wicks Organ Co. and appears on their opus list. -Database Manager

2008-02-05 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Wicks Opus List gives the number 643, but errantly gives the year as 1915. It's likely a typo and was perhaps meant as 1925 - which would have been the order/contract date. It wasn't installed until 1926. -Database Manager
2013-01-29 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- In 2012, the organ keying, combination action, and relay systems were converted to solid state by Tom Britaniak of Buckley, Washington dba Second Wind.
