Follow Your Compass Needle North
The town of Northport, Washington sits right at the junction of Deep Creek and the magnificent Columbia River, just a stone's throw away from the Canadian border. This is a place of seemingly unending panoramic vistas, a place where you can truly lose yourself in nature.
The Columbia River, which has one of the continent's largest drainage basins, is one of the major defining natural elements of the Pacific Northwest. In Northport, you'll have direct access to this powerful river, the fourth largest in North America.
Once a bustling mining town, Northport was founded mostly by gold-miners and incorporated back in 1898. The railroad laid down tracks at roughly the same time, and when the gold started running out people turned to smelting. Now, the mines have long been shut down and the chimneys of industry no longer smoke. Northport has quieted down and allowed nature to take its course.
With a population of less than 400 people and a land area of 0.6 square miles, Northport is really a small town. Bounded by the Columbia River and Lake Roosevelt property, and surrounded by the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge and the Colville National Forest, it's also, literally, in the middle of the woods. And in this day and age, is there really anywhere else you'd rather be? When you're here, you won't want to miss visiting the China Bend Vineyards which offer organic, unsulfited wines. Take a bottle (or two) home with you.
With its nearest city across the border (Rossland, B.C.) and over forestland, Northport, WA real estate is perfect for those in search of a quiet place where getting away from it all is still possible. Living in Northport is like living in an earlier, gentler time when people didn't know what a rat race or a traffic jam was. If you're seeking serenity, Northport, WA real estate will be perfect for you.
