Copper City - Washington Ghost Town

COPPER CITY

NAME: Copper City
COUNTY: Cowlitz
ROADS: 2WD
GRID: 6
CLIMATE: Cool winter and summer.
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Anytime.

COMMENTS: Not a lot left.
REMAINS: A few remnants.

Copper City was already old and abandoned when a Fred Eaton took up residence in the ghost town. There had been a good strike of gold and copper that created much excitement but that was short-lived. An enormous forest fire in 1902 put a stop to operations and the mine was never profitable again. The only activity today is the few fishermen who occasionally try their luck in the waters of Copper Creek. Submitted by Henry Chenoweth.
