Alpine was a town in the Cascade Mountains, near Skykomish, Washington. Founded in the late 19th century and originally named Nippon, it was first built to house Japanese railway workers.[1] Another nearby railway town, Corea, housed Korean workers. About Шаблон:Convert west of Stevens Pass, Alpine had only rail access, and was a mile from the nearest road.[2][3][4]
The local lumber baron changed the town's name from Nippon to Alpine in 1903. In 1917 it was reported as a station on the Great Northern Railway.[5] Its population peaked at 200–300 people; after the nearby woods were logged out, it was evacuated and intentionally burned, around 1929.[2]
Author Mary Daheim, whose family, the Dawsons, lived in Alpine approximately 1916–1922 (before she was born) sets her "Emma Lord" mystery novels in a fictional, surviving town of Alpine.[2]
