Washington is full of charming little towns that are perfect for both a short visit and making a life. But while spots like Port Townsend and Poulsbo tend to get most of the attention, you’ll also find plenty of hidden gems hidden among our mountains and plains. Pomeroy is one of those places.

Pomeroy is located in Garfield County, in the southeastern corner of the state.

Needless to say, it doesn't get as much drive through traffic as some of our other cities and towns.
Pomeroy was incorporated in 1886, and it still maintains its historic charms.

In fact, a 10 block section of the historic downtown area was added to the National Historic Register in 2003.
But despite its historic vibe, you'll find a few modern amenities in this charming town.
