Selleck, Washington, Historic district in King County, United States.

Located at an elevation of 338 meters, Selleck features original company houses, a converted schoolhouse, and a former community hall in Washington State.

The Pacific States Lumber company town, established in 1908 by Frank Selleck, operated until declaring bankruptcy in 1939 after three decades of timber production.

Japanese workers and families formed a substantial community called Lavender Town, where children attended both regular school and Japanese language classes during the 1920s.

The district contains twenty bungalows housing ninety residents, with rental prices lower than comparable properties in neighboring King County areas.

A railway trestle standing 204 feet above Cedar River connected the mill to transport routes, marking it as the highest such structure worldwide in 1916.
