    GENERAL INFORMATION:    Weather     Library            
    Skykomish from the 1890s to 1974, was a maintenance and fueling station for the Great Northern Railway and western terminus for electric operations (1909-56) on the Cascade Tunnel route to Wenatchee. Careless waste disposal practices common during that era resulted in the contamination of its soil and groundwater seeping oil and heavy metals in Skykomish River. In the mid-1980s, BNSF and the Washington State Department of Ecology began remediation discussions and in 2006, agreed to a plan to clean up the area over a three-year period. This $50 million project will involve massive excavations to removing the contaminated soil and the rebuilding of a levee. Many of Skykomish's historical buildings will have to be moved and returned to new foundation. Located in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest,near Deception Falls on the Skykomish River, founded as railroad town and officially incorporated on June 5, 1909.
