From Shafer Museum:

In 1891, a thirty-two year old Harvard graduate, Guy Waring, arrived in the Methow Valley, spotted a market in the handful of miners and ranchers living nearby, and opened Winthrop's first general store. After two years of success, the store burned and Waring was forced to move back east to recoup his losses.
