Located 35 miles east of Everett and 50 miles northeast of Seattle on Hwy. 2 is the Skykomish River Valley. Skykomish, name derived from two American Indian words, “skaikh” and “mish”, meaning “sky” and “inland people”, is located in the heart of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in the Alpine Lakes Region.The beautiful Skykomish River Valley is the point where the north and south forks of the river join. There is over 30 miles of the finest year-round recreation area of the entire Cascade Range. The “Capitol” of the area is the town of Skykomish, an old railroad town. Here you can explore the old restaurants, hotels and buildings that are on the historical registry. There is also a post office, library and lodging available. Sixteen miles east of Skykomish is the Stevens Pass Ski Area, a longtime favorite of northwest skiers known for its terrain, snow conditions and facilities. The ski area now boasts some of the finest downhill and cross-country skiing in the northwest. |
