How to Use This Wauna, Washington Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wauna, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Wauna.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Wauna, Washington

Wauna is a locality in Pierce County, Washington, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,421. The population density is 271.0 people per km². Wauna is located at 47.3831°N, 122.6694°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 98329, 98395.

Wauna occupies a quiet stretch of shoreline where the land yields to the persistent influence of Henderson Bay. It lies 4.5 miles northwest of Gig Harbor, WA (from Gig Harbor, WA: bearing 320°T), and is situated 5.6 miles north of Artondale. The topography here is defined by a dampened, verdant complexity, where the dense woodland gives way to the tidal reach of Purdy Sand Spit. A mile inland, the waters of Goodnough Creek carve a modest path through the earth, feeding into the saltwater basin that dictates the rhythm of the local tides. On clear days, the distant, serrated silhouette of the Olympic Mountains provides a gray, atmospheric anchor to the horizon, while the cool, salt-heavy air creates a constant, muted clarity that settles over the firs and ferns.

Wauna maintains a character shaped by its long-standing connection to the water, an industry once rooted in the harvest of timber and the bounty of the bay. The local economy has shifted from the pulse of early sawmills to a quieter residential life, yet the maritime heritage remains visible in the way the community turns its gaze toward the currents. Residents look toward the distant silhouette of Raft Island, a landmark that punctuates the expanse of the bay, while the nearby waters of Horseshoe Lake offer a freshwater contrast to the salt-spray environment. Life in Wauna moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands the tide, valuing the stillness of the woods and the persistent, gray-toned beauty of a landscape defined by the meeting of forest and sea.
