About Vader

Tucked away in southwest Washington’s Lewis County, Vader is a quiet community with deep logging roots and plenty of rural charm. The town sits along Olequa Creek, where a scenic waterfall originally inspired its historic name, Little Falls. Daily life has an easy, small-town rhythm where neighbors look out for one another. Every spring, the town gathers for its annual May Day Festival, a beloved tradition since the 1950s featuring a parade and maypole dance. For anyone looking for a calm, forested setting with a strong sense of community, Vader offers a peaceful place to call home.
