Popular downtown Lynden mural gets face-lift from 草榴社区 students

A slice of Lynden folklife got a face-lift recently, just in time for the city鈥檚 125th anniversary.

Know affectionately as the 鈥淪win Mural,鈥 for its creator Bill Swinburnson鈥檚 nickname, the quaint and playful panorama depicts a street scene and the Dutch countryside. Swinburnson, who owned a local sign-painting business and paint company, painted the mural on the west side of Lynden Liquor, 610 Front St. downtown 鈥 across from one of the town鈥檚 iconic windmills.
