City Government


The City of Mossyrock is a Code City with a 2011 population of 759. Several hundred more households are within the City’s Urban Growth Area or walking distance of the Business District.



The City is a local commercial center for surrounding rural homes and agricultural activity. Travelers stop for food, gas, supplies and information as they pass through the City going East or West along US Highway 12, this section known as the White Pass Scenic Byway.

The area is well-known for recreational opportunities and local business and government make every effort to welcome visitors and residents alike who enjoy the outdoors activities. The immediate Mossyrock area lies within the Klickitat Creek drainage basin which is known for its highly fertile soils. Agricultural traditions remain alive today with both large-scale and small-scale farming.

The influence of the nearby Mossyrock and Mayfield Dams, both built in the 1960’s, remains to this day also since they transformed the wild Cowlitz River into two recreational lakes, Riffe Lake and Lake Mayfield. The City is building a new foundation for future growth by updating and expanding infrastructure and opportunity.

City Services

Mossyrock hosts a range of services and activities.

Our Public Works Department maintains a high-quality fresh water distribution system from a pair of deep wells in the Klickitat Prairie. A modern, efficient WasteWater Treatment Plant built in 2001 serves the area. Public investment in these systems along with City buildings including a large Community Center, several miles of City streets, lighting, stormwater management and Parks support the public health, safety, welfare and economics.

Community volunteer efforts are a major factor in the vitality of this City and surrounding area. Volunteer and civic groups are too numerous to list but include parade organizers, quilters, veterans, community dinners, Fire District volunteers, East Lewis County Chamber of Commerce efforts, and many Mossyrock School District activities.
