The
town, which straddles the Swinomish Slough, was the site of a trading post
established in 1867 by Alonzo Lowe, one of the Alki Point Pioneers. In 1869 he sold out to John S. Conner, who changed the post office name
from Swinomish to La Conner after his wife, Louise Anne (Siegfried) Conner
by using the initials of her first and middle names as a prefix to her
last name. |
