Blewett, Washington

Blewett is a ghost town in Chelan County, Washington, United States.

The small mining town was established on the west side of Peshastin Creek in the foothills of the Wenatchee Mountains in the mid-1870s.

The community was originally called Werner with the establishment of a post office in 1893, but the name was changed to Blewett a year later.

It was named after Edward Blewett of Seattle, whose mining company owned many of the claims in the area.

During this time the town boasted a school, a two-story hotel, stores, a saloon and telegraph service.
