Aberdeen / Hoquiam Washington pdf download

Aberdeen and Hoquiam are the twin cities on Grays Harbor. They are known for lumbering and as the deep-water port.

Historical heritage is important in both towns. Preservation of historical landmarks, museums, antique shops and rustic classic clapboard store fronts, is a bit of the atmosphere that will greet you in both Aberdeen and Hoquiam.

Aberdeen is the mooring place for the tall ship Lady Washington, a reproduction of Captain Gray’s vessel that first docked here in the late 1700’s. Aberdeen today is a modern day bustling harbor playing host to ships from Russia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Turkey, Singapore and Canada.

In September you will enjoy the famous Aberdeen “Rain or Shine Jazz Festival”. Renown jazz bands from all over the country truly make this fun city swing!

In Hoquiam you will enjoy all the friendly and modern accommodations along with the treat of touring the Hoquiam Castle. This was the home of timber baron Robert Lytle. Built in 1897, it is on the National Register of Historical Places. Restored in 1971, this turreted 20 room mansion contains interesting historical furnishings and is a ‘must see’ while visiting Hoquiam.

A visit to the small historical community of Cosmopolis will complete your stay in this eastern area of Grays Harbor.
