The population was 178 at the 2010 census. HistoryPrior to settlement by westerners, the Skykomish Indians lived in the area between Sultan and Index. They spoke Lushootseed; fishing the Skykomish River was an important part of their economy. The Skykomish had a village along the north bank of the river named {{lang|lut|xɬ'xausalt}}, located at the present site of Index.[3] Logging and lumber booms in the latter half of the 19th century led to the growth of minor settlements in the eastern part of what became Snohomish County in 1861. A gold strike in 1889 at nearby Monte Cristo fueled another influx of prospectors and settlers.[4] The town is named for nearby Mount Index.[5]Index was officially incorporated on October 11, 1907. The Snohomish County Public Utility District had planned to build a hydroelectric power plant at Sunset Falls near Index in the early 2010s, but abandoned the project after it was opposed by environmentalists and local residents.[6] GeographyIndex is located in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains; the summit of Mount Index is located {{convert|3|mi}} south of the town. The Index Town Walls, granite cliffs up to {{convert|500|ft}} high, are located on the northern edge of the town. These walls are popularly used for rock climbing, offering a variety of high-quality cracks for this purpose.[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|0.23|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all of it land.[8] Index is located on the North Fork Skykomish River, just above its confluence with the main channel of the Skykomish River. The Skykomish River's Sunset Falls, a nearly {{convert|300|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} granite chute that drops some {{convert|100|ft}}, is located approximately {{convert|1|mi}} from the town (on the South Fork Skykomish River). The town is located {{convert|1|mi}} north of US Highway 2, approximately {{convert|25|mi}} west of Stevens Pass. The BNSF railroad, formerly the Great Northern Railway, runs through the middle of the town. Index was once an important stop for the mining (particularly Monte Cristo and Galena) and timber activities north of its location.
