Elma, WA

Elma seems to be at the edge of the timber industry and the coast. With the decrease in logging, it looks to be a very economically depressed area. Not as bad as we thought Peekskill, NY but a close second. Originally, we thought that it might be a commuter residence for government workers form the capital in Olympia but both the housing options and the traffic out of Olympia doesn’t seem to agree with that idea.
