This tiny town is as full of character as its quirky name suggests. Explore historic streets, wander scenic forest trails and drive along a breathtaking highway.

Despite its small size, Concrete offers a wide range of activities for your vacation. Book a place in one of the welcoming guesthouses in town or set up camp nearby and enjoy having miles and miles of gorgeous landscape on your doorstep. From swimming in clear lakes to driving roads leading through stunning countryside, find your own way of discovering all that this beautiful area offers.

Visit the Concrete Heritage Museum to learn about the area’s past and how its status as a cement production hub led to the town’s unusual name. Join the walking tour leading through the town’s historic center and passing the austere but atmospheric ruins of the Superior Portland Cement Plant. See the distinctive concrete buildings ranged on Main Street, replacements for wooden ones that burned down in the early 20th century.

Another sight to enjoy in the town itself is the quaint Concrete Theater. Watch a movie in the evening at this cozy one-screen venue or simply take photos of the charming exterior. On summer weekends, pick up fresh produce at the Concrete Saturday Market. Don’t miss the beautiful Henry Thompson Bridge, a striking white landmark that dates back about a century. The bridge crosses the Skagit River, a favorite spot among amateur anglers.

Get out on foot, by bike or car to discover some of Washington’s most impressive scenery. Drive the gorgeous Mountain Loop Highway, which leads through dramatic rocky landscapes. Grab your binoculars and head to Rasar State Park to spot eagles or discover the diverse plants and animals of the ancient forests in Rockport State Park.

Concrete’s location on the North Cascades Highway makes it easily accessible by car. Reach the town from Seattle in about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Come in summer to see Concrete at its liveliest. In winter, many attractions close, but if you visit you will be among the privileged few who get to see this lovely area cloaked in snow.
