Welcome to Darrington, WA
Picturesque Darrington is located amid some of the most scenic and rugged country in
the world. Located in a low mountain pass of 549 ft., Darrington is one of the main gateways
to the beautiful North Cascade Range.
Nearby Mt. Whitehorse rises majestically 6303 feet above the town, dressed with one
of the lowest elevation glaciers within the continental U.S. To the southeast, deep in the
Cascade Range, volcanic Glacier Peak (elevation 10, 541 feet), resides in the 576,865 acre
Glacier Peak Wilderness.
The mountain pass on which Darrington is located separates the drainages of the N.
Fork of the Stillaguamish (means river people) River and the Sauk River. In earlier times the
local native Indians used this pass as a canoe portage between the two rivers.
Established in the 1890’s, Darrington’s rich and colorful history includes native Indian
influence, tales of exploration and mining, pioneering, timber harvesting and homesteading of
new land.
Though still active in producing a variety of essential wood products, Darrington is
utilizing its location near State and National Forest lands, Wild and Scenic Rivers and
Wilderness to promote recreation as a strong force in the local economy.

Welcome to Granite Falls, WA
In the shadow of scenic Mt. Pilchuck, Granite Falls is a gateway to the rich recreational
opportunities of the Cascades.
In the same year our state was created, 1889, prospector Joe Pearsall set out from
Mineral City north of Index in search of new mining claims, and climbed to the top of 6,000 ft
Mt. Hubbard. Gazing north he saw red streaks of the rock galena, which to and experienced
prospector promised gold, silver and other minerals in the area he names Monte Cristo.
Eastern financiers Hewitt, Colby, and Hoyt ,with backing from John D. Rockerfeller,
bought the mining rights in exchange for building the railroad to Monte Cristo and a smelter in
Everett, with dreams of the “Pittsburgh of the West”. Depressions, seasonal flooding of the
railway, and high extraction costs led to the closure of the mines in 1907. Rail service for
tourists and forest products continued to 1936. The track was torn up and the current
roadway built on its bed.
The best “ore” of the area turned out to be the “green gold” of forest products. Quaint
downtown shopping and restaurants, a well-developed school district and unique small town
atmosphere make Granite Falls a gem of a northwest foothills town.
