Hello! Let me tell you a whole lot about the best-kept secret in Washington State: the hidden treasure of Tonasket '''a charming, mining-themed town of about 1,000 people in north central Washington. Not too many people know about these parts so I 'm not just saying it like some places state; there area is the best kept secret, ours really is the best kept secret.
Tonasket is located 260 miles northeast of Seattle, 165 miles northwest of Spokane and 20 miles south of the Canadian border. The town is at the intersection of US Highway 97 and State Highway 20 '''28 miles north of the city of Okanogan, the county seat, and 16 miles south of Oroville, which is the last town before the Canadian border.
Tonasket was originally settled as an Indian encampment and named after its leader, Chief Tonasket. Established in the late 1800 's, the town was incorporated in 1927. Apple, pear, peach, apricot and cherry orchards, cattle ranches, dude ranches, farms and rugged mountain wilderness with sage-covered foothills surround the town.
The downtown is along the Okanogan River and has an inviting small town atmosphere. There is only one chain stores here (Subway), mostly just friendly Mom and Pop establishments, including a post office, hospital, typical banking, grocery, pharmacy, medical, hardware and automotive services. Yes there are taverns, bars, a Mexican bakery, a bulk food store, some handicraft shops, an organic food haven and barber. An alternative energy mecca store (Okanogan Solar '''306 W 4th), and five antique shops. The Tonasket Chamber of Commerce (215 Whitcomb Avenue, provides information, maps and local souvenirs. It is adjacent to a small park featuring an impressive mural honoring the region 's Native American heritage.
There are many public activities for the drop in visitor. The Community Cultural Project (411 Western Avenue; has events nearly every day, including drumming circles, dancing, coffee house evenings, toddler play times, ESL classes, rummage sales and seasonal bazaars.
