Skykomish Great Northern Depot

Thanks to Japerdo for inspiring me to make this post.

The Great Northern Depot in Skykomish, Washington was built in 1894 by the Great Northern Railway, it's location was on the south side of the tracks at 5th street, until 1922 when it as moved to the north side of the tracks on 4th street.

The station was in use from 1894 to the 1950s. And in the 1970s the Great Northern Railway was merged into the Burlington Northern Railroad.

The depot - much like many stations I've posted about before - was put on the national register for historic places, as one of the only Great Northern depots still in Washington and for its association for the development of Washington.
