Al Fausett Rides Over Sunset Falls

ReporterThomas O'Keefe

On May 30, 1926, Al Faussett (1879-1948) rode over Sunset Falls on the Skykomish River in Snohomish County in a homemade dugout canoe. The stunt, witnessed by approximately 3,500 people, propelled Faussett from an obscure life as a Monroe logger to a falls-leaping daredevil.
