Disautel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Disautel is a census-designated place (CDP) in Okanogan County in the US state of Washington within the Greater Omak Area . At the United States Census 2010 Disautel had 78 residents.

Founded in 1919, the place is about 15 miles east of Omak along today's Washington State Route 155 . Disautel used to be a logging town and the administrative seat of the Biles-Coleman Logging Company . With the construction of the highway, Nespelem Community was promoted, the workers of the sawmill began to commute from Omak and the population began to dwindle. After the sawmill closed at the beginning of the Great Depression, the town continued to shrink. For some time the road maintenance depot used the empty warehouses in town to store road maintenance equipment, but not for long; after that the place was abandoned.
