Traveler Guide to Elma, WA
Elma is a city in the Olympic Peninsula region of Washington.
Grays Harbor County fair which usually starts on the second Wednesday of August and runs through the following Sunday. Grays Harbor County Raceway is a big attraction amongst locals and out-of-town folk alike. Sprint car racing (especially the World of Outlaws) uses the track every Saturday from April til about October. Hobby-stock cars and motorbikes use the track as well. Elma Ponds is a nice place to relax on a sunny day. Fishing is possible if you bring a raft and float in the center of the pond. Not too many fish venture towards the shore as there are usually a lot of splashing kids around.
Schmitty's is a nice burger stand on the west side of Elma. Great milkshakes. Rusty Tractor is a good place to go for a country breakfast/dinner.
