Wellington (later known as Tye) was a small unincorporated railroad community in the northwest United States, on the Great Northern Railway in northeastern King County, Washington.

The avalanche missed the Bailets Hotel (which also housed the town's general store and post office), but hit the railroad depot.

[3] Twenty-three people survived; they were pulled from the wreckage by railroad employees who immediately rushed from the hotel and other buildings where they had been staying.

[10] In the same month, the Great Northern Railway began construction of concrete snow sheds to shelter the nearby tracks.

Considered a ghost town, the old track and snow sheds remain and have been preserved as part of the Iron Goat Trail,[2] which is accessible from U.S. Highway 2 near Stevens Pass or near Scenic, east of Everett.
