This was my last city to visit in the hope of travelling to all the cities in Washington and not only was it a beautiful and enjoyable journey riding on the Lady of the Lake Express up to Stehekin for approximately two and a half hours, Stehekin is a quaint little community of folks that are just doing their best to get by in the great outdoors near the North Cascades. This is a very remote community and you can only reach it by ferry, boatplane or a very very long hike. Anyway, you are greated by the parks service rangers when you reach the dock and it you take a short 3-5 minute walk down the road going North you'll see this quaint little post office perched up on the hill. I believe this post office was on the verge of extinction recently due to it's remote location but it was voted to be kept open for a little while longer. The exterior is designed to weather the elements and there are windows cut out so the postal workers and peer out and watch the transient hikers and passersby as well as the locals and the gorgeous Lake Chelan close by. Take a picture in front of the office or the "Welcome to Stehekin" sign to mark that you've been there since most people probably aren't going to make a trek up here other than hiking or to just have a short stay in a cabin or boating. read more
