If you've ever traveled along Ocean Beach Highway (SR 4 from Longview to Long Beach, then you've had to pass right through the small town along the banks of the Columbia River called, Skamokawa. In its hey-day, it boasted of shipyards, a butter factory (creamery), a bank and was a booming farm and logging community. Once roadways and speedy cars became more common than waterways and boats, businesses in the small community started to dwindle. However, with the changing of the times and the interests of the people, there has come a new...
Ralph Rodahl died June 1, 1997. Planners had so underestimated the man and his impact on the community that they held the service in a crowded space at Dowling Funeral Home.

Vicki Allenback and Kyleen Austin have their license now and have begun to sell cheese at the local farmer’s market, which had its opening day on Friday.

She had begun to build a barn, but she didn’t have a plan. “I’d wanted to do a dairy here for about a year and a half,” Allenback...

There are activities for people of all ages. Whether you are of Finnish heritage or not, please bring your...
Local resident Ginni Callahan used to spend half the year here in Wahkiakum county, but lately the world has been calling and her sojourns have grown shorter. “I’ve had opportunities to live other places,” she’ll tell you, “but this place keeps pulling me back. Here and Mexico. It’s a nice migratory pattern. Those birds and whales can’t be wrong.” A kayak guide, Callahan is a five star sea leader in the British Canoe Union and a level four coach who grew up in an active family on the east coa...
