Ferry County
• History: The county seat
is at Republic, which is
also the county’s larg-
est city. It was named
after Elisha P. Ferry, the
state’s first governor.
With about 3.3 inhabit-
ants per square mile (1.3
/km2), it is Washington’s
least densely populated
county.
• Recreation: Curlew Lake
(Elev: 2400 ft) is nestled
in the glacier-carved
valley 6 miles north of
Republic. The spring-
and stream-fed lake is
named for the wading
birds that once frequent-
ed the area. The seven-
mile long and 42 ft. deep
lake provides visitors and
lakeshore homes with
wonderful opportunities
for kayaking, boating,
fishing, swimming, water
skiing, canoeing, and
sailing.
as rich as the quartz veins that lured the

prospectors of 1896. However, with the
opening of the new gold mine near Che-
saw, the Kettle River Mill is active again,
processing ore into gold ingots.
Today, many county residents look to
attract visitors to enjoying the abundant
natural resources and beauty of the area.
Whether for a day picnic or an experi-
ence extending for weeks or even years,
discovering the old sites and history of
Ferry County can truly be an adventure
back into time.
