Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Goose Prairie is an unincorporated community in Yakima County, Washington, United States. Goose Prairie is Шаблон:Convert northwest of Yakima. It was founded by Tom Fife in 1886 who named it after a goose that visited the meadow one evening and stayed the night.[1]

Fife donated a portion of his homestead to the Boy Scouts; the Grand Columbia council operates Camp Fife, a summer camp named in Fife's honor.

Besides the camp the meadow contains a number of cabins and a diner only open on summer holiday weekends.[2]

Goose Prairie was the summer home of the 20th century United States Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas.[3] Eric Sevareid interviewed Douglas in Goose Prairie for the CBS Reports documentary Mr. Justice Douglas broadcast Sept. 6, 1972.[4] The Yakima Valley Museum has a 16mm film of the program in its collection which can be viewed online.[5]

It is also where Kay Kershaw and Isabelle Lynn operated the Double K Mountain Ranch; they played a key role in the designation of the nearby William O. Douglas Wilderness area.[6]
