Skykomish, WA Real Estate

Skykomish is a town in King County, Washington, United States. The population was 214 at the 2000 census, down from an estimated peak of "several thousand" in the 1920s. [1]

Located in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, near Deception Falls on the Skykomish River, Skykomish was founded as a railroad town. Today, it is mainly a stopping point for recreational access to the surrounding mountains, including skiing at nearby Stevens Pass.

Being located in the far northeastern corner of King County, mountains deny Skykomish any road access to the rest of the county. Instead, U.S. Highway 2 (known in this area as the Cascade Highway ) connects it with Snohomish County to the west and through Stevens Pass (17 miles east of town) to Chelan County.

Skykomish was officially incorporated on June 5, 1909.

From the 1890s to 1974, Skymokish was a maintenance and fueling station for the Great Northern Railway, which eventually became part of BNSF Railway. Careless waste disposal practices common during that era resulted in the contamination of its soil, its groundwater, and the Skykomish River by oil and heavy metals. The BNSF and the Washington State Department of Ecology began remediation discussions in the mid-1980s, and in 2006 agreed to a plan whereby the railroad would pay up to $50 million to clean up the area over a three-year period. This will involve massive excavations --essentially removing the contaminated soil and replacing it with clean soil--and the rebuilding of a levee. Many of downtown Skykomish's buildings--both homes and business--will have to be moved.
