Community Information

The City of McCleary is a 2.073 square mile city, 15 miles west of Olympia off Highway 8. The city was founded as a logging camp in late 1898 and was incorporated on January 6, 1943. After coming to the area to log cedar, Henry McCleary built his first mill in 1906. In 1923 the plant broke all records by producing over 300,000 doors in sixty days, an average of six boxcars a day. The Simpson Door Company, as it's known today, is in the center of town and produces high end doors that are shipped worldwide. The McCleary School is a K-8 single school district at the top of the hill when first entering town. The McCleary Historical Society has moved into the former Unitarian church which has now become the McCleary Museum and Visitor Center mere blocks from the school on 3rd Street. Our largest event is the second weekend of July when the city hosts the Bear Festival with a variety of vendors and activities, as well as the always welcomed bear stew!
