Skykomish

Founded as a railroad town in the heart of the Stevens Pass Greenway, you can still see trains roll by when you grab lunch at the Cascadia Café & Lounge. May through September visitors can ride the miniature train that takes riders on a trip back in time, and the museum offers exhibits of life at the turn of the 19th century. Skykomish is the nearest lodging option to Stevens Pass Ski Resort, and during the summer the ski runs become a downhill Mountain Bike Park.
