Kettle Falls, WA

Right before you cross the Columbia River you come to the town of Kettle Falls. A logging town with a great sense of humor, because as you enter town there's a sign "Kettle Falls. 1550 Friendly People & 1 Grouch." Everyone that enters Kettle Falls and sees the signs at each end of town wants to know, "Who's the Grouch?". Rather than single out one poor individual for that distinction, an honest and fair election is held each year to elect the Grouch. The election is open from April 1st to the final day of Kettle Falls Town and Country Days celebration. Because each vote costs you 25 cents, and you can vote as many times as you wish for your favorite candidate, it has been known "that these elections can be bought."

In April 2008, The campaign for the new Kettle Falls 'Grouch' began .... This year there is a possibility that the 'Blue Moose Cabins' may be home of the 2008 'Grouch' as
one of the owners is running for the title.

The Kettle Falls area offers visitors and residents alike an abundance of outdoor activities. Whether you enjoy fine fishing, hunting, camping, boating, golf or just taking it easy and exploring the many historic sites in the area, we have something for everyone. If you long for a small town atmosphere with no traffic and low crime, come see us. We promise you'll enjoy yourself. Located in beautiful Northeast Washington state, adjacent to Lake Roosevelt, the largest lake in Washington. The Lake stretches about 150 miles from Grand Coulee Dam upstream to the Canadian border. Before the Grand Coulee Dam formed Lake Roosevelt, historic Kettle Falls served as one of the largest Native American fishing grounds in the northwest. Today the town sports a full service marina, a child friendly interpretive center and downtown revitalization project plus an abundance of recreational opportunities. In Kettle Falls visitors can enjoy one of the most scenic and diverse areas in the country.

The 'Kettle Falls' themselves were located on the upper Columbia River about 40 miles south of the Canadian border, and was once one of the most important fishing and gathering places for Native Americans in the Northwest. The sound of the river, plunging nearly 50 feet in a series of cascades, could be heard for miles. It was said that the salmon ran so thick there that it was impossible to throw a stick into the water without hitting a fish. All this came to an end in 1941, with the completion of Grand Coulee Dam, located about 100 miles downstream. The dam, built without a passage for fish, closed the upper Columbia and its tributaries to migrating salmon. Today, the noise at Kettle Falls comes not from rushing water but from nearby Highway 395. The falls themselves were lost to below the surface of a reservoir called Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake, only to be partially revealed occasionally when the water level is lowered before the spring thaw of this once picturesque and grand natural wonder.

When news hit that the Grand Coulee dam would force Kettle Falls to relocate the entire town, Kettle Falls was the largest town in Stevens County to be relocated. Houses were bought and relocated by the government. Structures were dismantled or destroyed and Kettle Falls annexed itself a 60-foot strip of land leading to and including part of the town of Meyers Falls. The town moved to its new location and they voted to change the name of Meyers Falls to Kettle Falls. The new location was built around the railroad and soon became successful in its new location. Many people of the area welcomed electricity and irrigation provided by the new dam. But losing the 45-year-old town could be viewed as minor compared to losing the actual Kettle Falls and the beautiful Columbia River valley.

Republic, WA

Nestled between Washington State's two highest passes, the natural beauty of the area is its greatest attraction. Tucked in a beautiful conjunction of valleys, the vistas are breathtaking wherever you gaze. Experience the outdoors in its most natural state ... where towns are small ... where man-made attractions pale beside the unspoiled wildlife, majesty of the mountains and crystal clear rivers and lakes. Republic, once known as Eureka, was a wild and furious gold rush town. The lure to Republic goes back to the late 1890's. Republic's deep-rooted heritage drew thousands of gold seekers. Go back 100 years to visit the historical Ansorge Hotel or The Car and Truck Museum in nearby Curlew. Take a step back to an era where the neighbors call on each other as they pass. Frequently a horse or two may be seen tied up along the main street.

When you enter town from the west, sculptures and antique Victorian lanterns illuminating the evening street welcome you. Visit quaint shops, quench your thirst at the saloon, enjoy the finest foods at local restaurants, and stroll through town reading the picturesque murals of the history of the area.

Rossland, BC (Canada)

Rossland, the Golden City is Canada's Alpine City by virtue of its surrounding mountains and the role they have played in the city's development. From early prospectors to todays' visitors, many have come here, only to fall under the spell of the mountains and become skiers, mountain bikers and adventurers of every sort

With a population of under 4000, no traffic lights or sprawling malls, the City of Rossland is really a small town. But back in 1897, when tremendous gold finds lured thousands of people, Rossland for a time was British Columbias' largest city. Rossland is tucked high in the Monashee Mountains at an elevation of 1023 metres (3410 feet). Hilly streets, loads of winter snow, warm and sunny summers, great views combined with our glorious gold mining past, make Rossland a natural destination for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs or anyone looking for small town charm in an alpine setting.

Red Resort, which is only 3 kms (1.8 miles) from downtown, is blessed with snow falls that exceed 750cm. (300") per year. In town, the annual snowfall averages 370cm (148"). Although there is snow in Rossland a month longer than in nearby valleys, the climate is moderate.
