Exploring Cheney, Washington | One of Eastern Washington's Oldest Towns #CheneyWashington #CheneyWA

 


 

Join me as I explore the historic downtown of Cheney, Washington, one of the oldest incorporated towns in eastern Washington. 

Founded alongside the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1880, Cheney quickly grew from a small railroad depot into a thriving community. During this walking tour, we'll stroll through the historic downtown, admire century-old brick buildings, learn about the devastating 1891 fire that nearly changed the town's future, and discover how the railroad helped shape this community into what it is today. 

I was honestly surprised by how busy downtown was during my visit. Was it just a busy Saturday afternoon, or is Cheney always this lively? If you're a local, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. 

 If you enjoy small-town history, forgotten places, railroad stories, and discovering communities across the Pacific Northwest, consider subscribing. There are many more adventures to come. 

Thanks for watching!
