Lewis County Travel Tip
Lewis County, located in southwest Washington
state, covers 2,449 square miles(96x26 miles)
from the summit of the Cascade Range in the
east to the Chehalis River valley in the
west. Following the path of the Cowlitz
River, U.S. Highway 12, a scenic byway, is
one of the four major year-round highways
connecting western and eastern Washington. In
the west, the county is traversed by
Interstate 5. Centralia, Chehalis, Morton,
Mossyrock, Napavine, Packwood, Pe Ell,
Randle, Toledo, Vader, and Winlock make up
the larger cities, towns and communities.
The Centralia/Chehalis area is
equidistant
from Seattle and Portland, 87 miles
from
each, and 228 miles from Vancouver
B.C. Interstate 5 provides access from the
north and south. For Centralia, take exit 81
or 82, for Chehalis exits 76, 77 and 79. For
East Lewis County, take exit 68 (Highway 12).
Traveling from eastern Washington, take
Highway 12 via White Pass. Hwy 6 west winds
through rural countryside to the Ocean
Beaches.
Destination Centralia, in conjunction with
Amtrak, offers a visitor package that samples
the history of the area. Amtrak's "Shoppers

and trolley or van transportation to antiques
stores, factory outlet malls, National
Historic Registry homes, and the city's
historic murals. Overnight visitors are
