Roslyn, Washington is located just “east of the mountains,”
the Cascade Mountain range that is! A scenic 90 minutes from
Seattle on I-90 over the beautiful Snoqualmie Pass, takes you
into the Pines of Roslyn and the lovely Kittitas County, an
authentic Mining town, a company town built around the
operations of The Northwestern Improvement Co. A subsidiary of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. Roslyn is perhaps the most
fascinating community of 1,020 residents in the PNW today. It
has a 115-year history that establishes it as an authentic
mining center, historic labor battleground and unique ethnic
melting pot. In 1979, Roslyn was featured in Stanley Kramers’
movie “ The Runner Stumbles”, and then in 1990 Roslyn became
very well known when it was chosen to double as the sleepy
little town of “ Cicely, Alaska”, for the quirky CBS
television series “Northern Exposure”. Roslyn is widely
revered and enjoyed by residents, visitors, and descendants
who focus on its rich coal mining history, its’ local charm,
and its’ unpretentious community fabric. Roslyn today combines
a unique history with a tourist appeal at the entrance to one
of the state’s great mountain playgrounds, and is a community
working to preserve and display the story of it’s past. Roslyn
annually celebrates “Coal Miners Day” over Labor Day weekend
and this year marks the 7th year for celebrating
Moosedays! |

In Loving
Memory Margaret May Phillips 1918 –
2002
Peg of My Heart
Peg of my heart, I love you, right from the start, I loved
you, I always know, it would be you, since I heard your
lilting laughter, it’s your Irish heart I’m after.
Peg of my Heart, your glances, make my heart say, how’s
chances, Come be my own. Come be my home. In my heart.
(Adapted by Woodin-Ville Rotary)
Peg brought to life, the fiesty, loveable, wise, harley
ridin, grave dancin. General store owner we all came to love
as Ruth-Anne Miller. She was everyones confidant’, took “bull”
from no one! And if you didn’t have the cash, she’d make you a
damn good trade!
Peg has also made numerous television appearances on “ER,
“7 th Heaven”, and “Touched by an Angel” to name a few.
In 1998 Peg founded the Woodinville Repertory Theatre in
hopes of bringing a bit of culture to the small town of
Woodinville, WA...so she said! ;)
Peg also developed a drama program for incarcerated youths,
at the Echo Glenn Childrens Center, where the kids
participated in drama work- shops.
