Wilkeson Arch is a monumental stone and timber gateway at the west entrance to Wilkeson, Washington, built in 1925 by the Wilkeson Booster Club for $2,000. Designed in the National Park Service Rustic style, it echoes contemporary entrance arches at nearby Mount Rainier National Park, including those at Chinook Pass, Nisqually, and White River. The structure was conceived as a promotional instrument to attract tourists and showcase the region's principal industries: coal and sandstone mining. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
