Get in
WA State Hwy 8 from Olympia connects into US Hwy 12 in Elma from the East. From the West, US Hwy 12 leads into Elma before splitting off South. Monte-Elma Rd (the old highway) connects Montesano to Elma paralleling US Hwy 12.
Get around
Grays Harbor transit is the only public mode of transportation in Elma.
See
Grays Harbor County fair which usually starts on the second Wednesday of August and runs through the following Sunday.
Grays Harbor County Raceway is a big attraction amongst locals and out-of-town folk alike. Sprint car racing (especially the World of Outlaws) uses the track every Saturday from April til about October. Hobby-stock cars and motorbikes use the track as well.
Elma Ponds is a nice place to relax on a sunny day. Fishing is possible if you bring a raft and float in the center of the pond. Not too many fish venture towards the shore as there are usually a lot of splashing kids around.
Briggs Nursery. Nuff said.
