About Union, Washington

Union breathes the cool, damp air of the Pacific Northwest, a quiet settlement embraced by the verdant slopes of Clark County. It lies 2.9 miles north of Orchards, WA (from Orchards, WA: bearing 9°T), and is situated 7.1 miles north-east of Vancouver. Here, the land rolls with a gentle, forested grace, the Douglas firs standing tall like ancient sentinels, their dark needles catching the diffused sunlight that filters through the perpetually soft sky. The very ground feels alive, a rich, dark loam that yields generously to the seasons, often softened by a persistent mist that clings to the undergrowth. The air itself carries the scent of damp earth and pine, a clean, invigorating perfume that speaks of a place where nature still holds sway, its presence a constant, quiet hum beneath the surface of everyday life. This corner of Washington has a history as deep and quiet as its forests, a legacy shaped by the logging industry that once defined its economy. The sturdy timber that still defines the landscape was the lifeblood of Union, its mighty trees felled and shaped into the foundations of homes and industries far and wide. While the roar of the sawmills has softened, a spirit of self-reliance and community endures, a quiet pride in the hard work that has always characterized its people. You can still feel the echo of those who tamed this wild land, their stories whispered on the wind that rustles through the trees, a testament to the enduring character of Union.
