What it’s like
The place. Grayland is a small coastal community on Washington's Pacific shore, with a population that skews well older than the national picture. Winters are cool rather than harsh, with little or no snow, and summers stay mild. Rain and melted snow add up to a great deal over the year, far more than in much of the country. A typical home here is worth less than many on the coast, and household incomes across Pacific County sit below the state's.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in government, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Pacific County, the largest workplaces include Weyerhaeuser, Willapa Harbor Hospital and Ocean Beach School District. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than it was a year earlier, and the county has slightly fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Twin Harbors State Park is in or beside town, and Grayland Beach State Park, Bottle Beach State Park and Westport Light State Park are each a short drive away. Those protected areas make the coast easy to reach for walks and time by the water. The Willapa River is a longer drive away for anyone who wants to head inland along the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Grayland’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Pacific County and the Aberdeen, WA metro.
