A Berthoud, CO based electrical contractor asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a COLORADO Statement of Lien Lien on a new residence in Longmont, CO within Boulder county. According to Wikipedia, Boulder county is named for Boulder City and Boulder Creek, so named because of the abundance of boulders in the creek which hampered early gold prospecting efforts.
