Mohler is a small place in Lincoln County, Washington, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
Mohler was named after an early stagecoach driver named Morgan Mohler. A stagecoach was like a big horse-drawn bus that carried people and mail a long time ago! Mohler is about 6.5 miles (or 10.5 kilometers) southwest of a town called Harrington. Even though it's small, Mohler has its own post office with a special code, 99154, for mail delivery.
