Pleasant Hill is a small place in Cowlitz County, Washington, that isn't officially a city or town. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it doesn't have its own local government like a city does. Instead, it's managed by the county.
You can find Pleasant Hill south of the city of Castle Rock. It's located along or very close to Pleasant Hill Road. This road connects Castle Rock with another community called Ostrander.
One interesting fact about Pleasant Hill is how its schools are organized. The northern part of the community belongs to the Castle Rock School District. However, the southern part is part of the Kelso School District. So, kids living in different parts of Pleasant Hill might go to different schools!
