NOTES
The parish's first organ was a used, II-manual, 5-rank Smith theatre organ originally
built for the Gala Theatre in Seattle in 1924. It was moved to First A.M.E. Church by
Balcom and Vaughan in the 1930's, and was replaced there in 1956 by a new, II-manual,
10-rank Wicks pipe organ. The organ then was moved to Port Madison Lutheran Church from
First A.M.E. in Seattle, presumably by Balcom and Vaughan in 1956, and was installed as
a memorial.

The new organ is free-standing and encased with an attached, projecting keydesk. The
case is made of fumed white oak, and the pipe shades are carved from basswood. The pipes
were all made in the Cook shop. The temperament is Kellner.

The organ was dedicated by church organist Joann Richardson on November 22, 1998.
