Gate is an unincorporated community in Thurston County, Washington, United States. Gate is located on the Black River, 2.9 miles (4.7 km) west-northwest of Rochester.
The community began as a logging town, existing from its peak years in the early 20th century up to the 1940s when timber operations had already begun to wane. Despite Gate hosting modern amenities of the time, such as an opera hall, no buildings from the town's past remain with the exception of the Gate School, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Gate is located immediately near several protected areas and preserves, and is the southern terminus of the Gate to Belmore Trail.
