Plain is a small unincorporated community in Chelan County, Washington, United States.[1] It is located east of Coles Corner, Washington, near U.S. Route 2 and SR 207. Plain was serviced by the former SR 209, now called the Chumstick Highway, which connects Plain with Chumstick and Leavenworth along an old railroad grade.
A post office called Plain was established in 1913, and remained in operation until 1936.[2][3]

Attractions and events
The town is the location of Plain Valley Ski Trails, a 25-km network of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails. A racing team, Plain Valley Nordic Team, is also based in the area.[4]
Plain serves the start and finish for the Plain Endurance Runs, a pair of 100-mile/100-km ultramarathon races that began in 1997. The races are particularly challenging due to the fact that neither pacers, course markings nor aid stations are allowed per the race rules.[5] This resulted in only four total finishers of the 100-mile race during the first eight years of its existence.[6]
