Havillah, Washington

Havillah[1] is a small unincorporated community located in northeastern Okanogan County, Washington, eighteen miles south of the Canada–US border.

Many residents who farm or raise livestock in Havillah supplement their income with jobs in the nearest towns of Tonasket or Oroville about twenty miles "down the hill".

Immanuel Lutheran Congregation (organized January 29, 1905) serves as the community hub, and members and non-members alike attend weekly services and other functions there.

Up the road, Sitzmark Ski Hill has been a favorite winter recreation area for local folks since it was established by the Schweikert and Dukow family in the mid 1900s.

In addition, hunting, hiking, other winter sports, boating, and fishing opportunities have long been the mainstay of recreation in the general area which borders the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest and the nearby Pasayten Wilderness.
