Cedonia (pronounced sĕh-dōn-ya) is a very small unincorporated community in Stevens County, Washington, United States. It lies along the Columbia River, at a section that is known as Lake Roosevelt, the reservoir created by the Grand Coulee Dam. It is primarily a farming and ranching community with some logging activity. It is comprised of Cedonia Community Church, a small store, a veterinary clinic, and several homes, with several farms surrounding it. The church tends to be seen as the focal point of the community, hosting many community events as well as events from neighboring communities. The church is also the source of the name Cedonia. When it was built in 1897, the settlers searched for a name for their community. They settled on the name Cedonia, a shortened version of Macedonia from the plea to the apostle Paul in Acts Ch. 16 vs. 9 that says, "Come over here to Macedonia and help us." Education services are provided by Columbia High School in Hunters, about 4 miles due south of Cedonia.
