Gold Bar

The Skykomish River defines the setting of Gold Bar — its broad valley gives the town a clear east–west route through the western Cascades and keeps daily life closely tied to the river corridor. Incorporated in 1910, Gold Bar retains a name that recalls the prospecting era of the Skykomish Valley. U.S. Highway 2 runs through town on the route toward Stevens Pass, while nearby Wallace Falls State Park protects forest trails and the waterfalls of the Wallace River. The surrounding area is known for river recreation, hiking and access to Cascade foothill country.
