Like Yacolt, Washington, this is truly a rural town surrounded by farms, forest and mountains like Mount St. Helens. For those that want a scenic, private, slower pace this area is definitely for you. This is NOT the area for those who are looking for all the trappings of a city just down the road.
Although home developments are beginning to grow in Amboy, Washington, homes on acreage, horse properties, farms and forest are the norm. Snow is fairly typical for this area but does not last long. Winters and summers are mild. Springs and Falls are spectacular.
