Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Glenwood, WA

Glenwood is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Klickitat County, 26.5 miles west-northwest of the county seat at Goldendale, with its own post office under ZIP code 98619.

The community was named for the glen and woods near the original town site.

Glenwood was counted as a census-designated place for the first time in 2020, when the census recorded 179 residents, about 11 percent of them Native American.

The community sits on the "Tract D" land whose status has been disputed since the Treaty of 1855: an 1890 survey of the Yakama Reservation left the tract out, the original treaty map including it was lost for decades and found in 1930, and in the meantime some 98,000 acres of the Glenwood Valley passed into private ownership.

A 1972 executive order by President Richard Nixon returned 21,000 acres of Mount Adams, including its summit, to the Yakama Nation but did not include the privately held Tract D acres, and in 2022 the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Klickitat County's claim, affirming that the Glenwood Valley lies within the Yakama Reservation's boundaries.

At about 1,900 feet in the eastern Cascade foothills, Glenwood has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate with roughly 30 inches of precipitation and about 65 inches of snow in an average year.

Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1964 and covering more than 6,500 acres of Camas Prairie meadows, marshes, and woodland a few miles south of Glenwood, is headquartered under a Glenwood address and protects elk, greater sandhill cranes, and the Oregon spotted frog.

The local school is Glenwood School, whose students have partnered with refuge staff on wildlife education programs at Conboy Lake.

In 1974 Glenwood was the site of a rare fatal black bear attack, in which a four-year-old girl was killed near her home.
