This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Join us for a presentation that will cover the life of George Washington from being raised by his adopted white parents, Anna and James Cochran, to his travels across the country to the Pacific Northwest, where the Cochrans purchased the 640 acre homestead and deeded it to Washington.
This session will be the capstone event for “Learnings from the Chehalis.” Over the past 15 years, community volunteers, citizens, and government agencies have been putting effort in to making the Chehalis River clean and healthy for people, fish and wildlife. How well have we done? This session will look at progress made on water quality improvement, salmon habitat restoration, water conservation, and the impacts of regulations and policies.
Our capstone talk will be held by a panel from the Chehalis Basin Partnership. The Chehalis Basin Partnership was formed in 1998 to provide a framework for local citizens, interest groups, and government organizations to work collaboratively to identify and solve water-related issues. Come with questions!
Our focus is to get the information out there about dealing with behavior, and how to recognize sexual abuse of children. Featured speaker Kathy Slattengren, keynote speaker Amy Lang.
Join Ranger Kathy Jacobson for an interpretive program/walk this Saturday to learn about the Chehalis River, the history of Rainbow Falls State Park and the CCC. All ages are welcome. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Please dress for the weather as this program will be held rain or shine. Meet at the picnic shelter in the day use area. A Discover Pass — day or valid annual pass is required for each vehicle entering the park.
Pick up a world map and trace your family’s passage from your ancestral homeland to Salkum, with landing points along the way; then share them on display at the Library! Submissions may be posted to library social media.
Speakers on a wide range of topics—join us in learning. Drop in for individual lectures, or register for the series. Contact Centralia College East for the lecture schedule and to register. More details to be announced!
