Brady is a census-designated place (CDP) in Grays Harbor County, Washington, United States.

[citation needed] The Chehalis River valley south of Brady was the first part of this area to be settled, by the Smith, Twidwell and Foster families in the late 19th century.

At that time the Chehalis River was the only means of transportation in and out of the area, so these homesteads were staked out on the riverfront.

A four-lane, divided freeway connecting Interstate 5 at Olympia to Aberdeen was built through the Brady area in the mid-1960s.

The greater Brady area relates to the boundaries of the now-defunct Brady school district, bounded on the east by the Satsop River, on the north by the Grays Harbor County line, on the south by the Chehalis River, and on the west by the boundary with the Montesano School District at Camp Creek.

The school house was sold to a private drug abuse rehabilitation charity called the Harvester Foundation.

Two children did not escape, and their bodies were later recovered from the ashes from beneath the remains of a completely incinerated bed.

Brady is located in southeastern Grays Harbor County at 46°59′46″N 123°31′18″W / 46.99611°N 123.52167°W / 46.99611; -123.52167 (46.995987, -123.521752),[4] between Montesano to the west and Satsop to the east.
