Nestled among evergreen trees, the tiny town of Roslyn, Washington, population about 950, oozes charm and character. That’s why producers of the popular 1990s television series, Northern Exposure, selected Roslyn – with its historic storefronts, cafés and pubs – as the stand-in for the fictional town of Cicely, Alaska.
But while the characters of Northern Exposure were make-believe, it’s now possible to acknowledge and celebrate the real-life residents of this small town in Kittitas County – thanks to a collection of 1,200 black-and-white photos recently made available to the public.
