COMMENTS
The City of Oysterville is located near the north
end of Long Beach in Pacific County on the Pacific Ocean.
I had been to this city before but my
co-pilots (Michelle and Ballard Jen) had not and they were surprised. The entire city
is a historical district. Each structure has a story and
each story is present in front of the house by the current owners. There
are only a few businesses in the city, one being the building that houses an
extremely quaint General Store and the Post Office. There is also
a restaurant out on Willapa Bay which serves very good chowder. We spent
about 30 minutes driving down Main Street, which by the way is the only street
in town, reading the historical land markers, admiring the old church and
gazing at the one-room schoolhouse.
While my co-pilots enjoyed the town, my diamond in the ruff was finding the
post office. As you can see it was established
in 1858, which was a nice
treat as this was the first post office I have visited that displays its
opening date. Inside (as you can see through the window) were about 50
post office boxes and a very small wooden window where the post officer
conducts daily business. For more info, visit www.funbeach.com |

Pacific County is a land of
tidewater plains and bays and
Coastal Range hills at the mouth of
the Columbia River in southwestern
Washington. The county was named
after the Pacific Ocean which it
borders. Pacific County was
established in 1851, being the third
county to be created in the present
Washington area.
