Cougar is located around 30 miles northeast of Woodland along Washington State Route 503 and situated along the northwest bank of Yale Lake, a reservoir on the Lewis River. The population was 122 at the 1990 Census, when it was still incorporated as a town, but disincorporated before the 2000 Census.

Cougar is the nearest community to Mount St. Helens, which lies 13 miles to its northeast.
