Small Town Charm in Packwood

Packwood is a small mountain town on Highway 12, between Mount Rainier and White Pass. It began as a logging and mining town in the early 1900s, and today it's a relaxed base with locally owned cafes, breweries and shops, elk wandering through, and a few big events that bring the whole town out. Here's where we'd start.

Eat & Drink

Local coffee, breakfast, burgers, Mexican and two breweries, all in town.

Around Town

The local museum, the farmers market, scenic drives and the wildlife you'll spot along the way.

Events

The Packwood Flea Market, Mountain Festival, Rod Run and White Pass Winter Carnival.
