Skykomish

The South Fork Skykomish River defines the setting of Skykomish — it follows a narrow valley where steep, forested Cascade slopes and the rail corridor compress homes, roads and businesses into a small mountain community. Skykomish developed as a Great Northern Railway town, and its compact historic district retains commercial buildings from the railroad era, recalling its role on the line across the Cascades. US Route 2 continues along the river toward Stevens Pass, while the surrounding Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest emphasizes the town’s close connection with the mountains.
