Geocache Description:

Just a quick grab on the way into or out of Packwwod, This a little park type area at the old forest Ranger building.

Packwood is in Lewis County, in the Centralia metro area.
The community was named for William Packwood, explorer. Packwood is an unincorporated community located in easternmost Lewis County, Washington.

Packwood is located at the intersection of US Highway 12 and Gifford Pinchot National Forest Road 52 (Skate Creek Road). It is notable as being located between Mount Rainier National Park to the north and Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to the south. The Tatoosh, Goat Rocks, and William O. Douglas wilderness areas are nearby Packwood to the north, south, and east respectively, with the Gifford Pinchot National Forest as a buffer in all directions. Packwood is located in the upper Cowlitz valley, just downstream of the confluence of the Muddy and Clear forks of the Cowlitz. The White Pass Ski Area and Cascade Crest demark the eastern edge of the Packwood area, the town of Randle the west, and large expanses of forest, wilderness, and parkland the north and south.

Packwood was established as Sulphur Springs.
