2008-07-12 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-03-18 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is a 4-rank, stock model "Artiste" installed in a chamber on the right side of the church towards the front, immediately above the steps up to the chancel and on the 2nd floor. Expression louvers open into both the chancel and the sanctuary. The choir sits in a floor-level gallery on the right side at the middle of the sanctuary with the console in the center. The organ has been in increasingly poor condition with multiple dead notes, etc. It is now for sale, and will be used for the last time on Easter Sunday of this year (4/12/09). It is being replaced by an imported tracker from a small builder in Germany. Documented: July 28, 1992. -Database Manager

2009-05-11 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ has been given to the Pipe Organ Foundation of Mercer Island, Washington. The console was removed today: 5/8/09. The pipes, chests, regulators, shutters, etc. will be removed around July 1. -Database Manager

2011-10-28 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ has since been relocated by the Pipe Organ Foundation of Mercer island, Washington to St. Luke Lutheran Church in Mt. Vernon, Washington. It will be upgraded to solid state, and two ranks added. -Database Manager
