A. B. Moe, First To cross Snoqualmie
Pass In Covered Wagon, Dies Here
Pioneer Norse Family Founded Poulsbo
One of the oldest and most sig
nificant pioneers in “'zwhlngton
died recently after a short illness.
Andrew B. Moe. 85. was the first
mayor of Poulsbo and a member‘
of a pioneer Norwegian family:
that settled and named the Kit
sap County town in 1883. (
Mr. Moe came to the United
States from Norway. his birth-‘
place, in 1880. His family moved
to Minneapolis. where he. his?
father and brothers did construe-f
tion work on the Northern Pa-i
cific Railway until they came
west. ;
The journey with teams and;
covered wagon from Minneapolis
to Seattle took four months. The‘
Moes were in the first party to‘
cross Snoqualmie Pass with horses .
and wagons. They arrived in Se-I
attle in 1883. I
The trip was so difficult that?
they Ind to hew their way by in
through considerable distances in‘
the dense forests and 3t vsrious
points they had to build rafts to.
cross rivers. For instance, at Lake 1
:Keechelus. near Snoqualmie sum-i
lmit, they spent three weeks build
ing a raft for the party. The trip
from Ellenshurg to the coast took
four months.
Upon arriviing here. Mr. Moe‘s
father. the late Iver Brynilsen
‘Moe. put their covered wagon
‘aboard a raft and crossed Puget
Sound and cleared the family set
1tlement at what now is Poulsbo.
1 The elder Moe obtained the first
‘contract to carry the mail from
[Port Madison to Poulsbo and
lnamed his postoft‘ice Paulsbo
“Paul's Placet, after a village he
had lived near in Norway. The
‘postal authorities misspelled the
‘name and it became Poulsbo.
\ The Moe brothers were the
Ltirst loggers in the Poulsbo re
gion. beginning in the fall of 1884.
IThey later introduced horses to
llogging work. built a 30-mile
standard-gauge railroad and had
the first railroad locomotive to
‘huul logs in Kitsap County.
T Mr. Moe was one of the incor
fporators of the town of Poulsbo
,in 1907. He later worked with his
ibrother. Capt. J. C. Moe. in steam.
.boat operations on Puget Sound.
