Tiny Packwood’s in the Cowlitz Valley, in the middle of a triangle formed by Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, and Mount Saint Helens, and it’s a rural forest town that’s really only known for two things: autocross racing and this big-ass flea market. The Packwood Flea Market happens twice a year, on Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend, in a four-acre lot on U.S. Highway 12. The five-day flea market is over a mile long and is one of the biggest in the western United States; shoppers can browse hundreds of booths hawking antiques, novelties, handcrafted gifts, food, clothes, books, jewelry, art, and probably some downright trash too, which can sometimes be the best part, eh.
