An Overview of the Site

Wellington, Washington

Next stop was the former town of Wellington. The town sits in the valley below highway 2, and at the mouth of the Old Cascade tunnel. After the avalanche, the railroad renames the town Tye, but it is still called Wellington to this day. The town was home almost solely to railroad employees.

About 15 years ago, you could easily see the concrete snow shed from highway 2, now there is only a few spots that are still visible.
