Ghost towns in the Pacific Northwest are remnants of once-thriving communities that have been abandoned or significantly depopulated. These towns were often established during the region’s mining and logging boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, as industries declined or resources were depleted, people moved away, leaving behind empty buildings and a sense of history frozen in time. Today, these ghost towns attract visitors who are intrigued by their eerie charm and the opportunity to explore the remnants of a bygone era.
