The Western Pacific Railroad (reporting mark WP) was a Class I railroad in the United States. It was formed in 1903 as an attempt to break the near-monopoly the Southern Pacific Railroad had on rail service into northern California.

A fruitless search for a Rufous hummingbird in the backyard yielded the consolation prize of an unexpected photo session with a beautiful, accommodating Western Tiger Swallowtail -- one of the largest and most iconic butterflies to grace the Pacific Northwest during the summer.

Native Americans were the first inhabitants of Winthrop, living along the banks of the Methow, Twisp, and Chewuch rivers. The first white men to visit the valley were trappers in the 19th century. In the spring of 1868, placer gold was discovered and the lure of gold brought the first permanent white settlers, three of whom were James Ramsey, Ben Pearrygin, and Guy Waring. Waring stopped at the forks of the Chewuch and Methow rivers in 1891. His family settled into the "Castle" (now the Shafer Museum). Although Waring is the acclaimed founding father, the town is named after Theodore Winthrop, an adventure traveler, and gifted 19th-century author. The town was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1893 and was officially incorporated in 1924.

MT huckleberry design. "I'm your huckleberry" is what initially comes to mind. But, for those in the know, the word DELICIOUS quickly comes to mind too. Huckleberries are a prized wild berry found in the mountainous regions of western Montana & the Inland Northwest. In late July and early August, Montanans head to the mountains to their secret spot to harvest these tasty purple berries. Idaho and Montana huckleberries are great in muffins, pancakes, pies, jams, milkshakes, and much more. Show your Pacific Northwest pride with our Montana Huckleberry sticker in the shape of the Treasure State.
