Bloxom

Bloxom is a small unincorporated community located in Pacific County, Washington, United States. It is situated on the Long Beach Peninsula, a narrow strip of land bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and Willapa Bay to the east. The community is primarily residential and agricultural, with a focus on cranberry farming, a historically significant industry in the region.

The area around Bloxom experiences a temperate marine climate, characterized by mild, wet winters and cool, dry summers. The proximity to both the ocean and the bay influences the local environment and provides opportunities for recreation such as clam digging, fishing, and beachcombing. The Long Beach Peninsula is a popular tourist destination, and Bloxom benefits from this activity, though it maintains a more secluded and rural atmosphere compared to larger towns on the peninsula.

Transportation in Bloxom is primarily reliant on State Route 103, which runs the length of the peninsula and connects the community to other towns and services. Educational needs for residents are typically met by schools in nearby Ilwaco or Long Beach. Like much of Pacific County, Bloxom's economy has seen shifts over time, with cranberry farming remaining a notable, though not dominant, economic driver. The community's identity is closely tied to the natural landscape and the historical agricultural heritage of the Long Beach Peninsula.
