Willapa is a census-designated place (CDP) in Pacific County, Washington, east of the city of Raymond. The population was 210 as of the 2010 census. The name comes from that of the Willapa people, an Athapaskan-speaking people, now extinct, who occupied the Willapa River valley, which was similarly named after the Willapa people, along which the census-designated place Willapa is located.[5]
