Packwood Jobs

Packwood is an unincorporated community located in easternmost Lewis County, Washington. Packwood is located at the intersection of US Highway 12 and Gifford Pinchot National Forest Road 52 . It is notable as being located between Mount Rainier National Park to the north and Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to the south. The Tatoosh, Goat Rocks, and William O. Douglas wilderness areas are nearby Packwood to the north, south, and east respectively, with the Gifford Pinchot National Forest as a buffer in all directions. Packwood is located in the upper Cowlitz valley, just downstream of the confluence of the Muddy and Clear forks of the Cowlitz. The White Pass Ski Area and Cascade Crest demark the eastern edge of the Packwood area, the town of Randle the west, and large expanses of forest, wilderness, and parkland the north and south. Packwood was established as Sulphur Springs.

The town of Packwood has historically relied on the forest products industry as an economic engine, supplemented by government employment and seasonal tourism. In the late 1990's, the Forest Service began consolidation of many ranger stations, with the result that Forest Service jobs moved to the town of Randle and the new Cowlitz Valley Ranger Station. Shortly thereafter, several factors, including the Asian financial crisis, decreased logging on federal lands, and depression in lumber prices, brought the closing of the Packwood Lumber Mill. Due to the limited economic opportunity, the town's housing consists heavily of summer housing for snowbirds, retirement homes, and vacation cabins. The influx of retirees and determination of long-time locals has led to a recent civic revival in the town, however. Several local organizations seek to promote the tourism opportunities of the town, improve tourist and vacation infrastructure, and plan for the long-term economic revitalization...more
