Roslyn, Washington — Northern Exposure's Frozen Time Capsule
Upper Kittitas County · Population ~900
Roslyn doubled as Cicely, Alaska in the hit TV show Northern Exposure. But this former coal mining town near Suncadia has its own ghosts — literally. With 24 separate cemeteries for a town of 900 people, Roslyn has more dead residents per capita than almost anywhere in America.
Why Roslyn Is Strange
The town's 24 ethnic cemeteries — each serving a different immigrant mining community — are spread across the hillsides. At night, locals report seeing lights moving between them, as if the dead are visiting each other.
