This, obviously, put a pause on my WWOOFing, so to make up for the work I was missing, I wanted to do a little research on the abandoned Northern State Hospital Farm in Sedro-Woolley that I had gotten to visit before leaving Washington. Abandoned places have always fascinated me; I love finding and exploring old buildings or cemeteries that are getting reclaimed by nature as time rolls on. I am really intrigued by the aspects of history that have slipped away and been forgotten, the antiques in vintage shops or the dilapidated buildings on the outskirts of towns. So when I visited the Northern State Hospital Farm, I instantly wished to know more. An entire farm completely left in nature&#8217;s hands; it was incredible to walk through. I wanted to dive into the history of this place, and this post is where I will do just that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Northern State Hospital Farm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6443-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6443-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6443-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6443-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6443.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>What remains of the Northern State Hospital Farm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"165\"  src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6411.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6411.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6411-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6411-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6411-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"166\"  src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6416.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6416.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6416-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6416-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6416-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"167\"  src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6429.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6429.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6429-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6429-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/ilc-su22-dewitt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2022\/07\/IMG_6429-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unexpected events occur for all of us at some point in time, and so this week, I had to make an unexpected trip down to Abilene, Texas to support my family through the death of my grandmother.
