Alderdale is an extinct town[citation needed] in Klickitat County, in the U.S. state of Washington. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]

A post office called Alderdale was established in 1907, and remained in operation until 1962.[2] In 1917 it was reported as a station on the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway.[3] The community took its name from nearby Alder Creek.[4]
