Packwood is a tiny mountain town in Lewis County near Mount Rainier National Park. With a population of less than 400 people, it’s safe to say this is small town living — and that’s just how the locals like it.
But every year, for Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend, Packwood is packed with vendors, artists, food trucks, and people from all over the state. After a brief pause in 2020 for obvious reasons, Washington’s most enormous flea market will resume this year, and we couldn’t be happier.
You’ve probably heard the expression “blink and you’ll miss it.” That is an accurate description of Packwood.

This flea market is eagerly anticipated by many Washingtonians who make it an annual tradition.
