Suiattle A.W.S.
This low elevation observation station has been tricky to identify. Because it was on private land under a verbal lease, I have not been able to identify what exactly was there. Documents say it was a new station constructed with AWS funds. The structure was retained, a portable F.S. building now moved elsewhere, no AWS involved with removal, likely went to private person. Maps from the 1940s show the area along the Suiattle was private land, with some structures, likely homesteads or summer cabins. I'm not positive what the 1/4 corner between Section 11 and 12 is but I would guess the small corner in section 12 that the river cuts off at the SW corner.
