Republic

Tucked along the Sanpoil River in northeastern Washington, Republic is a place whose character is shaped by its setting in Ferry County and its mining past. Founded during the late-19th-century gold rush, it remains the county seat and retains a compact historic downtown that recalls that boom. The Stonerose Interpretive Center & Fossil Site tells a far older story: plant and insect fossils found here date from the Eocene, about 49 million years ago. Forested country and the Kettle River Range surround the town, while Curlew Lake lies to the north. Republic is a worthwhile stop for understanding how geology, gold mining and rural life have shaped this corner of Washington.
