Jasper Gates, Mount Vernon


Jasper Gates was one of the first homesteaders to settle in what is now Mount Vernon on the Skagit River. Near the corner of 1st and Gates, this statue in granite by local sculptor Tracy Powell shows Jasper and his grandson John.

The basket of living hellebores in his left hand complements the statue nicely!
