Menlo is a small unincorporated community in the Willapa Valley of Pacific County, Washington, United States. The community is home to a general store and post office, the Pacific County Fairgrounds and a secondary/high school — Willapa Valley High School.
Menlo was settled in 1851 as a donation land claim. The area was named for the California town of Menlo Park [2] in 1893 when the Northern Pacific Railway line was laid down through the Willapa Valley. It was shortened to Menlo when the sign was cut in half.
As Menlo is not a census-designated place, only approximate population information is available for the area; Menlo is located within the Willapa Valley School District, which has a population of 2,231 and covers 289.1 square miles. [3] Menlo is located within Census Tract 9504 of Pacific County, which has a population of 3,921 and covers a larger area than the Willapa Valley School District. [4]
This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Menlo has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps. [5]
The Willie Keil's Grave State Park Heritage Site is located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Menlo. The Willapa Hills Trail courses through the community.
