Wilkeson is a town on Wilkeson Creek southwest of Buckley in north central Pierce County. It was once an important producer of coal and sandstone quarry rock. The town was named in 1877 for Samuel Wilkerson, secretary on the board of the Northern Pacific Railway Company. The town was incorporated in 1909, and suffered a major flood the following year.
