Old abandoned railway work shop
Easton developed as a logging camp. The arrival of the Northern Pacific in 1888 increased activity in lumbering as opportunities for shipping expanded, and in 1909 the rails of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and Puget Sound railways crossed the Northern Pacific rails here. Railroad workers increased the population. Easton was the last station where trains could be serviced before going over the Cascade Mountains. In 1934 the town experienced a severe fire.
