The Elochoman Marina’s Wooden and Classic Boat show features a beautiful array of classic boats competing for best in their category as well as demonstrations, programs, and boat related activities. The Marina and Main Street are within walking distance so both activities can be enjoyed.

Tsuga Gallery was formed in 2011, by benefactor Janet Cimino in a century old building on Main Street of Cathlamet. Her goal was to bring artists and locals together to make, learn and participate in a community-based art program. Still artistically strong today, Tsuga Gallery’s goals are to continue Cimino’s dream.
