The place. Moclips is a very small community on the Washington coast, in Grays Harbor County. Winters are cold and wet, though snow is rare, and summers stay mild, with the warmest weather in August.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Moclips’ 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 Grays Harbor County and the Aberdeen, WA metro.
