Ilwaco

Dismal Nitch where Lewis and Clark
were stranded in a bad storm in

Ilwaco Marina, Town, Hillsides

I enjoyed a seafood meal at the Crab Pot in Seaview and
purchased canned produces from the Sportsmen's Cannery.

I get up very early each day.  I could find little open at 6 am for breakfast,
except for McDonald's in Long Beach.  

Winter hours and day's open or closed for stores and restaurants vary.




Ilwaco   Population 1,200.  City and marina on north shore of the Columbia River nearest to the Pacific.   On shallow Baker's Bay. 

Work on the north jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River Bar began in 1915.  Work on the south jetty at the Columbia in Oregon began in 1885.

"Ilwaco: this town was named for the son-in-law of Chinook Chief Comcomly, Elowahka Jim which then became Ilwaco. ... The name “Mukilteo” means “good camping ground.” Nahcotta: this community is named for Chinook chief Nahcati who was friendly with the American settlers when the town was established in 1888."
