Surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery of the Cascade Mountains, Morton is known for its proximity to bountiful outdoor recreational opportunities, including hiking, fishing, hunting, and skiing. The nearby Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument is also a popular attraction for visitors.
Morton was founded in the late 1800s and was originally a logging town. Today, the timber industry still plays an important role in the local economy, along with tourism and agriculture. The town has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings and landmarks, including the Roxy Theater, which was built in 1949 and still shows movies today.
Despite its small size, Morton has a tight-knit community and offers a variety of amenities, including a library, community center, and several local businesses. The town hosts several annual events, including the Morton Loggers Jubilee, which celebrates the area’s logging heritage with parades, contests, and even lawnmower races.
