Woodland

• Town in Washington
• 14 reviews

Current Resident: Woodland is a pretty small town, but in the process of growing! More and more fast food places, restaurants, and little shops keep popping up. The community is usually pretty helpful, we have events like Make a Difference day where volunteers in woodland help out other woodland people by doing yard work, fixing up houses, or other tasks that need to be done around town.

Kalama

• Town in Washington
• 9 reviews

Current Resident: Kalama is a small town so you get to know almost everybody there. There are great local shops and restaraunts and big cities like Longview, Vancouver or Portland are either less than a half hour or less than an hour drive away so it's convenient to live next to a big city but grey the small city living that you love. There is only one high school there which is well operated and all of the teachers are really nice and you can also do running start at a couple of nearby colleges if you are interested. Overall, Kalama is a nice small town and a great place to live.

Castle Rock

• Town in Washington
• 9 reviews

Current Resident: We love the small town feel here. Even amongst strangers, we have always felt friendship and kindness. The community here is very present, and strong. My daughter started school, 6th grade, this year. We transferred from another district. She has been so welcomed and comfortable in her new school, and we have been blown away by the acceptance of us in this small town.

Longview

• Town in Washington
• 69 reviews

Current Resident: Longview is a beautiful town filled with tons of historic value in its count of establishments that have been up and running since the debut of the area. We have wonderful opportunities to attend festivals, Saturday markets, and weekly lake-side concerts in the summertime. Longview holds a great local community with endless things to see! Some pull-backs include the occasional smell of the mills that skirt the town suburbs and some mild teenage partying in some parts of the area (though city hall works hard on keeping communities peaceful in all sections of longview!).
