WELCOME TO MORTON

Morton, home of the Loggers Jubilee and historic "railroad tie" capitol of the world, is nestled in a valley between Mt. Rainier National Park and Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument at the junction of Washington SR 7 ( National Park Highway ) and US HWY 12, a Washington Scenic byway. The scenery is spectacular and the ambiance of the small rural town abounds.

Recreational activities are nearly unlimited and they include fishing in the nearby lakes and rivers, hiking through the pristine forests, skiing at White Pass, hunting and wildlife viewing. The hub of East Lewis County, Morton has banks and a credit union, two full service grocery stores, a laundromat, shops, restaurants, airport, hang gliding and an award winning Ford dealership to serve the community. Healthcare needs are met through Morton General Hospital which offers a full range of services including a 24 hour staffed ER.

The elementary, middle and high schools are complemented by Centralia College East which offers advanced educational and training opportunities.

High speed Internet and commercial train transportation are available in Morton. Real estate prices are moderate and potential business locations exist.

The Morton, Washington Chamber of Commerce is an energetic group of local individuals and business leaders working toward a common goal of creating a new and vibrant business community in Morton and the greater Lewis County region.
