SNOHOMISH — Friends were devastated by news that Mark “Chewey” Nuss, the proprietor of Fred’s Rivertown Alehouse, died recently. He was 64. Known for his beard, smile and playful shirts, he had a serious stroke in 2021.
It impacted the business, and his wife faced working both the restaurant and as caretaker. In 2024 community members rallied to help the family.
