Baring Bridge, Wooden suspension bridge in King County, United States

The Baring Bridge extends 334 feet across the South Fork Skykomish River, featuring a central span of 272 feet supported by steel cables and wooden towers.

Built in 1930 to replace an earlier structure from 1912, the bridge gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in August 2019.

The bridge represents a connection to the mining heritage of the Skykomish River area, where numerous claims and quarries operated in the late 1800s.

Current weight restrictions limit vehicle traffic to 10 tons, providing access for approximately 170 properties and 40 residences in the Baring community.

This structure stands as one of only two remaining wooden suspension bridges designed for vehicles in Washington State, alongside Longmire Bridge.
