Welcome Home To The Small Town Nestled In The Cascade Mountains
So you’ve decided living in the rural community of Darrington is the lifestyle that’s right for you. First of all welcome home! Living in a small remote town is unique and can be very rewarding but keep in mind it is a much further drive now to big box stores, shopping malls, movie theaters etc. We refer to this drive down the river as “going down below”, so here is your first bit of Darrington lingo. Shopping local supports local jobs and a great way to run into friends. Over the years our community has gotten pretty good at creating their own fun from just exploring the rivers, exploring the roads. It is all right here in your amazing backyard!
Perhaps you’re retiring and wish to return to a small rural community where people know each other’s names and shopping takes a little longer because there will usually be someone you run into that you just want to visit with! You want to live in a town where you can watch the endless beauty of the mountains change season by season. You’ll be in good company because we all do that out here. A great way to meet your new community is to get involved. That Can Do attitude is alive and well in Darrington with many people volunteering making great things happen. Join the fun and it won’t matter if you don’t know anyone, you will soon be surrounded by new friends.
Perhaps you are considering starting a business in or near Darrington. For such a small town, the infrastructure might surprise you.
