This has been sitting on the WikiCup's review needed page for too long, so I'll pick this up for the final round. I'll post my review later today hopefully. Kosack (talk) 05:55, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for picking this up. Feel free to take your time, given the length and the fact that I'm in another country for a few more days. SounderBruce 06:15, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
No problem. I don't forsee any real issues, the article appears to be very high quality. Kosack (talk) 07:03, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Review 


### Prehistory and early exploration
Cascades could be linked in the third paragraph as its the first mention outside the lead.
Done.


### Early 20th century
"with new sawmills bringing in new residents", double use of new is slightly repetitive here perhaps.
Fixed
"that were equipped ski runs, toboggan trails, and a ski jump", equipped with?
Fixed
Is "timber wars" likely to warrant an article?
Yes, it was a fairly major part of the state's history


### Evans and festivals
Does bluegrass need the capital letter? I can't seem to find a definite answer on a Google search.
Seems like most sources with style guides don't capitalize it.


### Tourism economy and modern-day Darrington
Link Oso.
Done
"together with a Economic Alliance Snohomish County and Washington State University", this sentence doesn't read quite right to me. Should it be "the (or maybe even an) Economic Alliance of Snohomish County" perhaps?
Fixed


### Economy
"The most common employers for Darrington residents are in manufacturing sector", should that be, in the manufacturing sector?
Fixed


### Events and festivals
The capitalisation of bluegrass issue mentioned earlier would apply here too if it needs to be changed.
Fixed


### References
Refs are all correctly formatted and a quick spotcheck looks good.
Great stuff, this is a GA in all but name really. These are the only points I could find on a look through. Placed on hold for these to be looked at when you're ready. Kosack (talk) 10:32, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@Kosack: Thanks for the review. I addressed all the issues you raised above. SounderBruce 14:00, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Excellent article, happy to promote. Kosack (talk) 14:03, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

I tried to fix citation errors regarding external links, but these changes were not necessary. Achmad Rachmani (talk) 07:47, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

@Achmad Rachmani: For GAs and FAs, the citation style should not be changed without discussion. Placing links outside of the template looks ugly and does not conform with higher standards. SounderBruce 03:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
