Aberdeen, Washington

Aberdeen is a small city located in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Founded in 1884 and incorporated in 1890, Aberdeen was named after a local salmon cannery to reflect its Scottish namesake. It is occasionally referred to as the "Gateway to the Olympic Peninsula".
In the early 20th century, Aberdeen was home to many saloons, whorehouses, and gambling establishments, earning it the nicknames "The Hellhole of the Pacific" and "The Port of Missing Men" due to its high murder rate. The city was hard hit by the Great Depression, causing the number of local sawmills to reduce from 37 to 9. Nevertheless, the timber industry continued into the 1970s before the remaining mills would shut down, further worsening Aberdeen's economic status.
Aberdeen is located along the , bordering the cities of Cosmopolis and Hoquiam. It was home to two high schools, including Weatherwax High.
