Woodway Washington, population 1,050, began in 1912 when David Whitcomb, Sr. purchased the original 320 acres. Mr. Whitcomb was desirous of country living and developed his community by insisting on deed restrictions of two-acre minimum parcels with large setbacks.
Nearby development in the early 1950’s threatened to incorporate Woodway’s land, so a grass roots effort established a fourth class city which provided development protection and independence as a community.
