Fall is such a magical time of year in Washington. From our pumpkin patches to our Halloween attractions and spooky events, this is a lively season here in the Evergreen State. And when it comes to fall foliage, we’re especially lucky. Our autumn hues start early in the season, and they linger well into November. If you want to see our finest fall colors in action, simply head to the Cedar Creek Grist Mill.

The Cedar Creek Grist Mill is located in Woodland in Clark County.
