Colonial Residence is situated in Centralia, Washington, a friendly and peaceful city with approximately 19,300 residents. Its name originated from being centrally located between the bustling cities of Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, during the early railroad days. Today, the train tracks and Interstate 5 still connect all three cities, making it convenient for travel.

In Centralia, you’ll find everything you need, from local grocery stores and pharmacies to popular factory outlet stores. If you’re looking to dine out, there are plenty of options to suit every taste, both local and chain eateries. For healthcare, Providence Centralia Hospital and a wide range of clinics and physicians are just a half-mile away.

About Colonial Residence

“In the 20 years I’ve been at Colonial Residence, the most enjoyable part of my job is interacting with the residents and helping to make their day a little nicer. Of course, in my role as administrator, I also perform a variety of duties. But from offering a smile to helping solve a problem, at the end of my day, making a difference in the life of a resident is the reason I love what I do.”
