The Giant Cedar Stump in Snohomish County, Washington, is the remains of an old-growth western redcedar, Thuja plicata, once part of the immense forests of the Pacific Northwest. By 1920 it was already a well-known attraction, photographed by Darius Kinsey in connection with the region's lumber industry. Its most famous appearance came in 1939, when Crown Prince Olav and Princess Märtha of Norway drove through the stump on their way to Stanwood for the dedication of a memorial to Washington's first Norwegian settlers. It endures as a relic of ancient forests and of the roadside spectacle culture built around giant stumps.
