Learn about the origins of Freeland, WA in this interview with Betty Cameron Discher whose great grandparents, Hudson and Sarah Spencer, with their four grown children, built the Harbor Cash Store, a home and community hall on the shore of Holmes Harbor in 1904. They were capitalists living side by side with socialists who had formed the Free Land Association a few years earlier in 1900. Part II coming soon.
