caption_attribution_description: Great Northern Railway Depot, Skykomish, Washington. The station has been temporarily moved from its historic location (and mothballed) for environmental cleanup. The depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
context_page_description: The Great Northern Depot in Skykomish, Washington was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1894. Its original location was on the south side of the tracks at 5th Street. In 1922, the depot was moved to its present location on the north side of the tracks at 4th Street.
  The depot is a one-story rectangular wood-frame building. It consisted of a passenger waiting room, the station agent's office and a freight room.
  The town of Skykomish was founded as a division point on the railroad. The railyard was used by helper locomotives on the grade up to Stevens Pass.
  In the 1950s passenger service to Skykomish ended. In 1970, the Great Northern was merged into the Burlington Northern Railroad. The yard and buildings at Skykomish ceased to be used. The old rail yard is currently undergoing environmental remediation and the depot has been temporarily moved.
  The depot was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as one of the last Great Northern depots still remaining in the State of Washington and for its association with railroad development in Washington.
