The Suiattle River and surrounding old growth forest and mountain peaks provide a serene backdrop to the Suiattle Guard Station. The charming log cabin sits on a gently sloping lawn at the edge of the forest and offers visitors a tranquil, remote spot to spend the night. Guard Station History The Suiattle (pronounced "Sue-attle") Guard Station is located in the Suiattle River drainage. In 1913, Tommy Thompson was the Assistant Ranger of the Suiattle-Finney District. As a ranger, one of his tasks was to construct his own station. He used hand-split shakes and log construction to supplement purchased building materials. Because of budget limitations, the Forest Service often relied upon rangers to construct their own stations. Construction details on the Suiattle Guard Station, such as the half-dovetail notching, is a tribute to Ranger Thompson`s craftsmanship. As a testament, the cabin survives to this day as one of the two oldest administrative buildings in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The Suiattle Guard Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
