Pysht is an unincorporated community located on the Olympic Peninsula in Clallam County, Washington, United States. The community is accessible via Washington State Route 112 and sits near the mouth of the Pysht River. Pillar Point County Park is directly east of the settlement.
In the early twentieth century, Pysht was a port for the timber-cutting industry, with logging, lumbering, and rail facilities set up by the company Merrill & Ring.[1] Merrill & Ring still owns much of the surrounding land.[2] By the early twenty-first century the town numbered only a few buildings. Activities in the area include forest preservation and hiking, fishing, and crabbing.
