Stehekin
POP 79
What, no road access? Cut off from the rest of Washington's highway network by craggy
mountains, Stehekin is that rarest of modern American settlements: one that is unreach-
able by car. Visitors get here either by boat or seaplane across Lake Chelan, or by a trio
of long-distance hikes through the wilderness-flecked North Cascades National Park to
the north.
