Overall Ratings

The Dayton Historic Depot is the oldest standing depot in Washington state. Built in 1881, it was moved to its present location in 1899 by capstan and horses. After it closed in 1971, the Dayton Historical Depot Society placed the Depot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, then they refurbished the building and opened as a museum in 1981. Presently, the first floor of the depot has been re-created to appear as it did in 1899. The upstairs, where the Station Agent and his family lived, contains a Gallery that has rotating exhibits. The freight room houses a gift shop of Depot memorabilia, western history books, low technology games, and unique gifts for that special hostess or friend.

The house is a Queen Anne Victorian constructed between 1880 and ~1900 that houses the possessions of the Boldman family. Items in the house range from the 1860s through the 1960s, including a large collection of clothing, household furnishing and goods, plus a 1934 Chevrolet Master Deluxe. The garden is a showplace that reflects American landscapes of the 1910-1920 era. Most plants selected are documented to be heirloom plant species introduced into American gardens prior to 1910. Free tours of the home are available May through September, Wednesday-Saturday from 11:00-4:00. October through April, the hours are Thursday-Saturday from 1:00-4:00.

We visited the Columbia Center on a Sunday afternoon, when the weather had improved, and were pleasantly surprised by the absence of a queue and went pretty much straight up to the Sky Observatory . A fantastic view with great facilities and helpful explanations of the city's landmarks and their history.

This was almost a pilgrimage for us - world class architecture + books! Designed by Rem Koolhaas, this wonderful piece of modern architecture stands out among its neighbors. We rode up the elevator to the top floor for the views of the city. We walked down the ramps soaking in the various reading/reference/research areas. The second floor is dedicated to conference/seminar functions marked by bold red color. The kids section is on the left hand side of the lower entrance. They also have a cafe & shop. It felt great to have experienced world class architecture. Just one cautionary advice: the library seems to be overrun by homeless people, especially when it comes to the restrooms. We were warned (by the locals) against using restrooms at the library. So as long as you take appropriate care, you should be fine. We safely wandered in all nooks & corners thoroughly exploring the library with the exception of restrooms.

I live just a few miles away and every once in a while I will take the back roads to go through the grist mill especially during the fall. I haven't been when I was actually open for a while but last time I did they were nice and friendly. It's well worth the trip to come and see it especially during the fall it's really beautiful there.

I made a second visit to the Sky View Observatory with three Italian guests on August 3. Since my last visit the system had been completely upgraded. No longer do visitors have to take two different elevators. The service was very friendly and helpful. The elevator ride up provides beautiful video presentations on 3 sides of the elevator. At the enclosed Observatory the views are phenomenal. Coffee, snacks and other drinks are on offer. Restrooms are accessible from several different directions. The views from the observatory are higher than the Space Needle and currently the Space Needle web site says some parts of their observation deck are closed during renovation. We had no long lines for tickets and the entire experience is well thought out and enjoyable.
