Hello and welcome to our blog! As the Broker for Lower Columbia Realty, it is my pleasure to visit with you about my "hometown". Cathlamet has been my life long place of residence, except for a brief stay in California when my husband was in the Navy. I love this place and never tire of living in this part of "heaven". Some people think that the Pacific Northwest is far too rainy. And, their point is? Without the rain we would not be the fresh, green, clean place that we are today. The air is cleaner here; people are friendly; natural resources abound; what is not to like about Wahkiakum County? IF peace and quiet appeal to you, look no further. It is amazing to me to look out my window from my home on the hill and see the ships traveling the Columbia River. We have various property types in our area. You can live up in the hills, in town next to schools and shopping, on Puget Island on pasture acres or beach front, or in the Valleys of the Elochoman or Skamokawa.

We are perfectly located 30 miles from I-5. To get here you drive alot of the way along the beautiful Columbia River. Our quaint little town is only an hour and a half to Portland and the airport. Our largest city would be Longview 25 miles to the East. If you need WalMart, Lowes, movie theatres, a shopping Mall with JC Penney and Macys, Longview is the destination. Continue driving West and you will come to the Pacific Ocean just one hour away.

Recreation abounds in our area. Fishing either from beaches or boat, hunting, walking, hiking, bike riding, bird watching, kayaking just to name a few.

In my next post, I will visit with you about the history of this magnificent place! Kay
