Close-up of a Chocolate Horse and Carriage on display at Boehms Chocolate Factory, Issaquah
Julius Boehm (1897 - 1981) was famous in Western Washington for any number of reasons: he was a pioneer in the skiing and mountain climbing community, he founded an outstanding chocolate factory - Boehms Candies Inc., he was also a great guy. Julius climbed Mt. Rainier many times, the last time when he was 80! Julius was on a trip to the Alps when he heard about the Anschluss - the annexation of Austria by Germany in 1938. Since he didn't like the National Socialists, he went to the top of the ridge, the border between Austria and Switzerland and skied down the other side. He came to the US in 1940 and brought his love of the mountains, chocolate and food to the Seattle area.
