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.
