History & geography

History

Raymond was incorporated on August 6, 1907. Raymond was named after L.V. Raymond, who was the first postmaster in Raymond. In the early years, Raymond's business section was built on stilts five or six feet above the tidelands and sloughs that crisscrossed the site. Elevated sidewalks and streets connected most of the buildings. Raymond claimed a population of 6,000 in the year 1913 and had a reputation as a wild and wooly lumber mill town. City fathers resisted the unwanted reputation with promotions of Raymond as "The Empire City of Willapa Harbor" and "The City That Does Things". Lyricist Robert Wells, who wrote "The Christmas Song" with Mel Tormé, was born in Raymond in 1922. Raymond is the city where the grunge band Nirvana played their first gig, on March 7, 1987. After Washington Initiative 502 was passed in November 2012, which legalized the recreational use of marijuana, Raymond has become a center for cultivation and sale of the drug. Raymond's economy historically revolved around logging and fishing, but the decline of those jobs over time and the arrival of marijuana producers and processors have led the town to encourage the business.
