The great city of Diablo, Washington has been omitted from your list of Whatcom county cities.
It seems that everybody but a handful of us forget that the center of our county is located in Diablo.
This is my campaign to make Diablo the county seat, since it is in the center of the county.
This city periodically is blocked off from the rest of civilization by either snow or rockslides. Access is by helicopter only in those circumstances.
The road to Winthrop which passes through Diablo is probably one of the best Motocycle runs. Make sure you fuel up in Rockport, first. But I'd wait for a few months now, to ride to Winthrop...

You better laugh at yourself,
Everyone else is.

That's a beautiful drive. I took my wife for a long weekend up the North Cascades highway, and we stopped about every two miles because she is such a shutter bug. It was really fun. We stopped at every dam we saw, and then took the little tram down inside the Grand Coulee dam. That was pretty impressive. That is one enormous dam! Shocked

We spent the weekend up in Winthrop at a little Inn up there. It was nice and relaxing.

Good luck on your quest to make Diablo the county seat. Snicker...

    And the sound of tailpipes roaring and echoing off the canyon walls from Rockport, through Diablo and then to Winthrop is Music to my ears

    Ah, Diablo, the Forgotten Whatcom County city...

    I love the drive on Hwy 20. Never done it on two wheels. Sold my scooter back in about 92-93. I'm certain that's the way to make that drive.
