''Chehalis'' was a sternwheel steamboat that ran on the Chehalis River, Puget Sound, and Lake Washington from 1867 to 1882. This vessel should not be confused with other steam vessels named ''Chehalis''. == Career== ''Chehalis'' was built at Tumwater, Washington in 1867 by H.H. Hyde. The engines for ''Chehalis'' came from the Fraser River sternwheeler ''Henrietta'', which had been built at Victoria in 1859.〔 For nearly three years following construction, the owners of ''Chehalis'' tried to compete on Grays Harbor and the Chehalis River. This proved unsuccessful, and so the vessel was returned to Puget Sound where it proved more profitable. ''Chehalis'' was first put on the route between Snohomish, Port Gamble, and Port Ludlow.〔 ''Chehalis'' was later sold to the Black Diamond Coal Mining Company of California, which was operating mines in the Black Diamond area south of Lake Washington. Under Captain Huffner and Capt. William Bailey (1822–1882), ''Chehalis'' was used to tow barges on the lake. (Captain Bailey was later killed in a dock accident at Yesler Wharf.)〔 Capt J.C. Brittain and Capt. Thomas Brennan then bought ''Chehalis'' and ran the vessel on the Skagit River. ''Chehalis'' was the first vessel to go up the Skagit as far as Portage Rapids, and the first to ascend the Sauk River. The vessel was in charge of captains Daniel Benson, Curtis D. Brownfield, and Robert Bailey while on the Skagit River. ''Chehalis'' was also run on the Seattle-Olympia route under Capt. Hiram Olney.〔''Lewis & Dryden Marine History'', at 161.〕
