Sekiu4.JPG (446445 bytes) From a ship that went a ground by Sekiu point, Curley salvaged much of the lumber and  used it to build a couple of cabins, for rentals long ago for  logging crews, that's basically how Curley's resort got started. As Sekiu grew as a great place to catch Big Chinook Salmon,  other resorts followed on Front street bringing more and more fishermen.
