The Washougal Memorial Cemetery provides the largest public burial grounds in Washougal. The Sons of David Shepherd operated and maintained the earliest graves, known as the “Pioneer Cemetery” – now referred to as “Section A”. Management by Lodge Number 194 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) reflected this name change and expanded the grounds to add “Section B”.
Citizens successfully petitioned for the City of Washougal to assume ownership of the IOOF cemetery in December of 1944. The City of Washougal added five “open” sections for internment with expanded burial options and looks forward to future expansion. To this day, the City of Washougal Clerk’s Office and Public Works Department perform all functions of management, development, and operations of the Washougal Memorial Cemetery.
The cemetery is located on 3329 Q Street, Washougal, Clark County, Washington.
