Nestled deep in the valley leading up to Stevens Pass, this King County city of Skykomish is a quiet gem waiting to be discovered. When the sun is shining, one can see why the oldtimers called it SKY. A former railroad stop that catered to the logging industry, the Skykomish mascot is a Rocky Mountain goat named Rocky. An aspiring tourist destination type town, Skykomish has a very scenic river front motel, a gas station, several restaurants and drinking establishments, a school and a post office.
Skykomish gets it's beginnings from the logging and railroad industry. Vacation cabins benifit from the locals who provide the basis of permanence in the area.
Sky is the last town just west of Stevens pass. Situated on the edge of the Mount Baker-Snoqualime National Forest, part of the US Dept of Agriculture, Skykomish is an interesting town to stop in and check out a view of the past.
