Mark Freeman has lived in the Bonney Lake area since 1965, growing up in Lake Jane Estates. He was part of the original group forming what became the GBLHS, and was involved for about 3 years before having to leave the organization due to outside workload. Local history is a longtime interest, so after a 15-year break he has returned to the GBLHS to help contribute to a worthwhile cause – to find, document, display and celebrate the history of this place we call home. Mark has served as a past president of the Sumner Band Parents Association and the University of Washington Husky Band Foundation, and is the current stadium announcer for the Sumner High School Marching Band. He recently retired from Boeing after 29 years, 20 of which were spent as a Lean Manufacturing analyst and workplace coach. Much of that included asking a lot of questions and applying critical thinking - separating facts from perception in the workplace in order to advance improvements to the manufacturing process. In dealing with history, this is one way to determine whether a good story is a true story!

 

The objective of the Greater Bonney Lake Historical Society is to discover, preserve, and disseminate knowledge about the history of the Greater Bonney Lake area.
