About Twisp

Tucked into the Methow Valley where the Twisp and Methow rivers meet, Twisp is a welcoming mountain community of around a thousand residents near the North Cascades. As the main commercial hub for the valley, the town has a grounded, practical feel paired with incredible scenery. Daily life stays closely tied to the outdoors, with clear rivers running past town, scenic valley views, and trailheads just minutes away.
