Baird is a ghost towninDouglas County, Washington, United States.[1] Baird is part of ZIP code 99115 and is home to the Highland Cemetery (also occasionally known as the Baird Cemetery). Baird appears on a 1909 map of Douglas County. The town was located about 7 miles (11 km) west of Coulee City, on the high ground between Moses Coulee and Grand Coulee.[2][3]

A post office called Baird was established in 1896, and remained in operation until 1934.[4] James Baird, an early postmaster, gave the town his name.[5]
