Wauna, Washington

Wauna is an unincorporated community in Pierce County, Washington, United States.

History

Originally platted as Springfield on September 14, 1889, Wauna's name was changed at the governments request, because of the many Springfields in Washington. Wauna, a Native American term for mighty water, was chosen as the new name by an early post mistress, Mary Frances White.
