Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was originally built for the Grand Theatre in Bellingham, Wshington. It was entirely chambered and controlled from a detached console. In 1929, it was removed by Seattle Kimball representative Arthur D. Longmore, and installed here at First United Presbyterian - at which time the original T-P action was electrified. In 1952, Balcom and Vaughan added two ranks to the Kimball. It was replaced in 1963 by a new 2-manual Wicks, and the Kimball was acquired by Elizabeth Lysen for her Seattle residence. In 1989, she gave it to Light of the Cross Lutheran Church in the Thrasher's Corner area of Bothell, Washington, where it was installed by former Balcom and Vaughan President William J. Bunch assisted by Charles Wassberg, who also playd the re-dedication recital. It served there for only a short time, and was evidently plagued by mechanical difficulties which ultimately prompted the church to give it away. It was removed in August of 1998 by Michael Gardner of Tacoma, Washington, who was rebuilding it with a unit action in his home. Its subsequent placement is unknown.
