Pacific Coast Highway: Grays Harbor, WA ...


Grays Harbor is home to several small cities such as Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Ocean Shores, and Wesport.

Initially inhabited by Native Indians, settlers came into Grays Harbor in the 1850's... with the area being rich in natural resources, large forestry & fishing related business thrived in Grays Harbor for decades, however, as the natural resource industries began their declines in the 1980's, the area since has branched out into more sustainable tourism related activities.

The north side of the entrance to Grays Harbor Bay is located Ocean Shores... Ocean Shores is a popular vacation destination that receives several million visitors each year.

The south side of the entrance to the harbor is located Westport ... Westport houses much of the area's fishing fleets and currently has working marina, and also has a quaint downtown.

The eastern inland of the harbor at the confluence of the Chehalis River is located the 3 contiguous cities of Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Cosmopolis. These 3 cities form the nucleus of commercial and industrial activity of the harbor, and nearly half of Grays Harbor residents live here.

While in the area visit the Polson Museum to learn about the area's history.
