Rebirth of a Washington town through community effort
Winlock Washington population 788 revived itself after a local crowd sought help from the University of Washington. Dick Poston head of the Bureau of Community Development advised town meetings and self help. About 500 residents rejuvenated the cemetery and locals then tackled the town face lift, ball field and recreation spaces. The program has aided half a dozen towns in Washington and attracted inquiries from 65 other towns and several states.
