A town shaped by the Lewis River
Woodland sits at the mouth of the Lewis River and straddles Cowlitz and Clark counties, with most residents on the Cowlitz County side. Its dikes, finished in 1922, are celebrated every year with Planter's Days. Even with them, Woodland has seen major floods: the 1948 flood hit "Old Town" Woodland hard, and in February 1996 the North Fork Lewis River flooded the community — Clark County's flood history notes that most of the county's residential evacuations that year happened here, with homes taking on water from a few inches to three or four feet.
It's a town where people understand water, and where it's smart to make sure a crawl space can handle the everyday wet-season water that gets in.
