What it’s like
The place. Pomeroy is a small city in southeastern Washington and the town of Garfield County. Most homes are lived in by their owners, a larger share than in many places, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are cold and mildly snowy, while summers turn warm, and the year brings a modest amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, government, and farming, forestry and mining also providing jobs. Across Garfield County, the largest workplaces include Garfield Memorial Hospital, Pomeroy School District and the Forest Service. Unemployment in the county is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The nearest outdoor draws are all a longer drive away. The Tucannon River is the best known of the nearby waters, and Hells Gate State Park is a protected area to visit. For winter, Ski Bluewood is a ski area, also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pomeroy’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Garfield County.
