found this Blue Star Memorial Highway Marker...and forgot that there was a regular geocache right nearby !! oh well.... on a geo-trip from New York.... This marker was found right next to the MossyRock Dam on US Route 12, near MossyRock, Washington. I've spotted three Blue star markers on my travels here in the Pacific Northwest... but the other two had already been logged....

"This carillion is called the "Netherlands Centennial Carillion" , located in Victoria, British Columbia -right next to the Royal British Columbia Museum...The Netherlands Carillon
The Netherlands Carillon in Victoria was a gift of the Dutch community of British Columbia to the
people of the province in honor of Canada’s Centennial.
Queen Juliana of the Netherlands laid the cornerstone on May 23, 1967. The tower was completed and
officially opened a year later. There are 75 steps on the staircase that turns through six complete
circles, a 10-step ladder to reach the playing room, plus anotherladder to the belfry. The bells were
cast at Royal Bell Foundry at Petit and Fritsen in the Netherlands. The tower stands 27 metres tall at
the corner of Government and Belleville streets.
The Netherlands Centennial Carillon became the largest in Canada in 1971 with the addition of 13
bells, bringing the total to 62, nine more than the Peace Tower at the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.
The original carillonneur was the late Herman Bergink. His efforts to build and the carillon for the
people of B.C. resulted in his being knighted by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands."
