Beginning in 2003, the White Pass Scenic Byway was funded through grants made available by the Federal Highways administration. Byway projects specific to signage, planning, and marketing were funded in 2005-2009. Since the Byway is primarily a tourism organization, lodging tax funding from Lewis County has been a continual source of revenue for Byway marketing activities. In addition, grants from the Lewis County .09 fund, U.S. Forest Service, the Port of Seattle, private businesses, and partner non-profits have helped supplement the program funding.
The White Pass Scenic Byway is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization serving Lewis County, Washington. The White Pass Scenic Byway was created for the purpose of public education and promotion of the byway’s natural and cultural resources, as well as enhancing the assets and resources located along the byway.
The White Pass Scenic Byway, U.S. Highway 12, extending from I-5 to Naches, is an exceptional journey, offering travelers experiences of wildlife, outstanding scenic and natural landscapes, and unlimited outdoor recreation. The location between Mt. Rainier National Park, Mt. St. Helens National Monument, and Mt. Adams is a premier recreation destination.
With your support, we will grow our ability to enhance the White Pass Scenic Byway and conserve its unique resources. View our projects.
