Cabin & Lookout Rentals
Spend the night away from it all! Up the Suiattle River valley 26 miles northeast of Darrington, a cabin awaits you. Once a forest guard station, the Suiattle Guard Station is now part of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service rental program. Due to flood damage to the Suiattle Road (FS Road 26) the Suiattle Guard Station is inaccessible until further notice.
Or if a wide view of the surrounding mountains is more to your liking, you can stay at the Evergreen Mountain Lookout located approximately 10 air miles northeast of the Skykomish Ranger Station. Due to Flood Damage on Road 6554 (Evergreen Mountain Road) at MP 1.4, there is no access to Evergreen Mountain Lookout Trail.
