The Skykomish River is a Washington river which drains the
west side of the Cascade Mountains in the southeast section of
Snohomish County and the northeast corner of King County. The
river starts with the confluence of the North Fork of the
Skykomish River and the South Fork of the Skykomish River
approximately one mile east of Index, Washington, then flowing
northwesterly towards Puget Sound. It is joined by the Sultan
River at Sultan, Washington. And then meets the Snoqualmie River
to form the Snohomish River at Monroe, Washington. The Snohomish
River continues along the river valley eventually dumping into
Port Gardner Bay on Possession Sound (part of Puget Sound).
United States Highway 2 and the BNSF Railway are routed to
follow the Skykomish River to Stevens Pass (which is located at
the headwaters of the Tye River, a tributary of the South Fork
of the Skykomish River) and the Cascade Tunnel (also along the
Tye River).
North Fork of the Skykomish River and the Skykomish South Fork.
Common types of salmon are Chinook, king, sockeye, red,
Coho, silver, chum, dog, pink, humpy, upriver brights and fall
Chinook. |
