Van Valey House
Take a sneak peek!
This beautiful 1914 home features quarter-sawn oak wainscoting, coffered ceilings, hand-painted wallpaper and many exquisite finishings such as imported beveled and stained-glass windows. Some of the furniture dates to the Van Valey family and other items like light fixtures have been collected by the Morrow family in order to replace period items that had been modernized. In addition to telling the history of the house itself and the Van Valey and Morrow families who called it home, the museum highlights the life of the late Senator Henry M. Jackson, a local man who left a legacy of statesmanship. The Jackson Room was curated by his daughter, with help from the Jackson Foundation.
Opened as a house museum in 2022, the Van Valey will offer additional exhibits on a regular basis, so
there will always be something new to see. We are delighted to have this venue to share some
of the items from our extensive collection while renovation work continues on the main museum.
Current Exhibit is Everett Fashion: 1910
Open Hours: Tues-Thurs-Sat, 1 pm to 4 p.m.
Suggested Donation: $5 Adult, $2 Student
Coming November 2nd - A Van Valey Christmas which will feature decorations
gathered over the years and wooden ornaments and figurines that were hand-carved by Ed Morrow
who, with his wife Betty, was instrumental in preserving the house and making it available to us.
