Blewett

Tucked into the foothills of the Wenatchee Mountains along the west bank of Peshastin Creek in Chelan County, Washington, Blewett is a ghost town with roots in the gold mining activity that drew settlers to the area in the mid-1870s.

Visitors today encounter a quiet, historically layered site rather than a living community. The setting along Peshastin Creek offers atmosphere, but the practical reality is that remains are sparse and the place rewards those with an interest in Pacific Northwest mining history more than those seeking dramatic ruins.

Access is seasonal in this part of the Wenatchee Mountains foothills, with winter conditions making travel difficult from late fall through early spring. Plan visits from late spring through early fall for the most reliable road conditions.
