Living in Willapa, WA: what to set up and who to call

Willapa has no town government of its own, so Pacific County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Willapa Valley School District. Tap water in Willapa comes from Willapa Valley Water District, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 22% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Willapa has no town government. It’s a census-designated place in Pacific County, so the county and regional agencies provide most services. This page answers what we can; the same answers appear on Willapa’s town page under “Getting set up”.
