I don’t think houses there go up for sale often; in the six months I was house shopping here I never saw one inside the town area itself.

Having said that, last I saw there’s a dilapidated place for sale down the road by the river.

I've come across the meeting minutes for one of the communities in Index. It's very detailed and there's enough gate-smashing and gravel based issues to be a fun read: https://www.mountindexriversites.com/meetings--financials.html

Also there's https://skyko.org/ which is more oriented toward the Galena road. Lots of drone footage of conditions.

This had me cracking up from the Nov 2022 minutes.

I had a neighbor once who gave me an account of a terrifying trip he did up at Index. He went into a mine, and climbed up some ladders. Eventually he got to very high ladder, and it broke beneath him, so he could only go up. He came out on a trapdoor on the top of Mt Index. There were some mountain goat tracks in the light snow cover, which showed him an unlikely way to climb down off the mountain. Whew! I ran across another neighbor later, and he told me, you didn't believe a word he said did you? Well yes I did. Hanging on every word. Turns out he was a notorious liar. Well, he got me good :). By the way, I once rappelled part way down Mt Index as part of a practice session, it is a magnificent mountain.

Absolutely beautiful! Love the hike I did in Index when I was visiting Seattle last fall!

It's so cool that you have a craggy mountain like this right in your backyard. I live in Tacoma and it's cool that Mt. Rainier is only 50 miles away, but you can't see it at all when it's cloudy. In Winter you can only see it a quarter of the time at best.
