American Legion Post 127
Over a century of service in the Pacific Northwest.
Our local post has deep roots in the community. In the early days, members met at various locations around town. Thanks to the generosity of Frank Elliot—our third Post Commander—the post leased land in Snohomish County for just one dollar per year. On Armistice Day in 1928, we broke ground on our first permanent home on that very property.
Nearly 40 years later, in 1967, the post sold its original 28-acre property and began a new chapter. Later that year, Harry Kveum sold a portion of his land in Bothell, Washington to the post. Ground was broken for our current home on September 27, 1968.
Additional historical records and stories from our post archives will be added here. If you have historical information, photos, or documents you'd like to contribute, please contact us.
