A Great Place to Live!
The cities of Centralia and Chehalis are located on the west side of Lewis County. This is a vibrant and growing area. The two cities are centrally located between Seattle and Portland, yet each town has their distinct personalities. Centralia is home to Centralia Community College, an historic downtown, and Borst Park.
Chehalis offers a quaint downtown, the bright and active Penny Park, museums and is the eastern starting point for Willapa Trail that winds along a former railroad track to the coast.
The towns are surrounded by farmland and forests offering a respite from urban life yet still an easy commute to Olympia.
