Cosmopolis

Cosmopolis straddles the lower Chehalis River corridor in western Washington, where its proximity to Grays Harbor has long tied the community to the regional timber economy. The river broadens into the harbor’s tidal estuary just west of town, placing Cosmopolis within the forested lowlands of the Pacific Northwest rather than on the open coast. Its unusual name comes from Greek words meaning “city of the world,” a reminder of the expansive ambitions behind its early settlement. Aberdeen, the larger neighboring city, lies across the river.
