The Port of Chehalis is a local government agency that oversees industrial zones, including an industrial park of the same name, in the city of Chehalis, Washington. The port grew out of an industrial park that was begun and constructed in the mid-1950s by groups of local Chehalis residents. The Chehalis Industrial Park was created out of necessity due to job losses, as well as a declining timber industry, in the city. A new rail line was built on the grounds and Goodyear Tire became the first tenant in 1957. The industrial site was operated as a private operation with several attempts to create a port district into the 1980s. In 1986, the Port of Chehalis was established and remains one of the last port districts created in Washington state. Since the port's beginnings, the agency has expanded the original Chehalis Industrial Park grounds and has added additional sites and landholdings.

Newaukum, Washington is an unincorporated community located directly south of Chehalis, Washington in Lewis County. The community's name, which is theorized to mean "gently flowing waters", was spelled in various ways during its early formation, including Naw-waw-kum and Newaucum. Settlement of the town began in 1852 and a first post office was established in 1856. The community grew after the construction of a Northern Pacific Railroad line in 1872 which bisected the area. After the railroad company requested a main depot on the tracks in Lewis County, Chehalis was ultimately chosen over Newaukum due to a combination of petitioning by Chehalis residents and travel difficulties through Newaukum. A small station was built in Newaukum and the town further developed to accompany the increase in the shipment of grain and timber production in the region. The community increased in size enough to briefly be considered as a county seat. By the turn of the 20th century, Newaukum contained a school, several shops and stores, and continued to be home to several sawmills and lumber manufacturing facilities. With the creation of new mail routes in the county, the Newaukum post office was discontinued in 1907. The Newaukum Grange was created the same year and the community constructed the Newaukum Valley Schoolhouse in 1914. By the 1940s, the school was no longer used but both the building, and the grange organization, remained an active part of the community into the 21st century.

The Scout Lodge, also known as the Troop 373 and 7373 Scout Lodge, is located in Chehalis, Washington in the Hillside Historic District. Constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) beginning in 1937, the lodge was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2004. The lodge was opened and dedicated in 1938 and became of use for both boys and girl scout groups in the city. The building was temporarily used for several other purposes during the 20th century. Chehalis High School students used the lodge after the schoolhouse was damaged during the 1949 Olympia earthquake. A local church utilized the building during the 1940s into the early 1950s. Owned by the city, the lodge fell into disrepair by the 1970s, continuing in such a state into the 1990s. A focus on restoring the structure and grounds began in 2000 and various upgrades and maintenance projects in the interim have maintained the lodge in working order during the 21st century. The Scout Lodge is considered rustic, with a mix of brick and cedar shingles on its exterior. It is most noted for a large, centralized red-brick chimney. The interior contains a basement and a main floor meeting hall with a stage. The forest-setting grounds contain a granite-rubble retaining wall.
