Our Mission

The mission of the Northwest Railway Museum is to develop and operate an outstanding railway museum where the public can experience the excitement of a working railway and see and understand the role of railways in the development and settlement of Washington State and adjacent areas.

Accessibility

We are equipped with a chair lift to accommodate those who need accessibility assistance getting on and off the train. Please call for information regarding additional accommodations. If more than 4 people in your party need lift accommodations, please contact visitor services at least 24 hours before your visit so that we can ensure appropriate staffing and space are available.

The Northwest Railway Museum gratefully acknowledges financial support received from:

The Northwest Railway Museum is built on the traditional lands of the Snoqualmie Tribe and other Coast Salish Peoples. The Museum’s railway runs through land and features considered sacred to their beliefs, values, and heritage since time immemorial.
