Tunnel City, WA?

[David Lewis]

I Think this is it!
In 1927 the Mountaineers Club president, Edmond S. Meany donated 54 
acres of land southwest of Martin to the club for a ski hut. Martin was 
the railroad station at the east end of the Northern Pacific tunnel near 
Stampede Pass and the area where the Hut was built was originally the 
site of Tunnel City, the construction camp during the building of the 
Stampede Pass Tunnel. The Stampede Pass location was chosen to permit 
ski tours along the cascade crest from Snoqualmie Pass to Mt. Rainier. 
Although somewhat lower than Snoqualmie Pass, the eastern Cascade slope 
usually affords drier snow and better skiing. Meany Ski Hut was 
dedicated in 1928. It has since been enlarged at least twice.
