Glacier is a census-designated place in Whatcom County, Washington, United States. The population was 211 at the 2010 census. Based on per capita income, Glacier ranks 522nd (last) of 522 areas in the state of Washington to be ranked. Glacier is hoping to change this with the opening of the Glacier Chamber of Commerce.〔(Glacier Chamber.org )〕 Glacier is the community closest to Mt. Baker (northernmost of the Cascade volcanoes), is within 10 air miles of Mt. Baker's summit and a 20 mile drive to the Mt. Baker Ski Area with awe-inspiring views of Mount Shuksan, one of the most photographed mountains in the world. It consists of a number of thriving businesses - including coffee shops, ski and snowboard shops, restaurants, a small grocery store, and a design company - and a ranger station, with information about hiking and camping, less than a mile east. ==History== Glacier was founded and named in 1909 by Jennie Vaughn. Originally a site for gold mining and logging, commercial influence was probably the reason for both residential growth and interest by the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad. The area was made public after the creation of the Mount Baker Highway in 1923.〔(Glacier Washington ) tourist information including brief history.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glacier, Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
