Raymond, Washington

September 26, 2022 / / 0 Comments

On Monday, we travelled 148 miles to Riverfront Park in Raymond, WA. This is not a campground, but a city park where they have 20amp outlets for vendors. We stayed here for 2 nights.

Monday night, the group we had dinner at the Willapa Brewing Company. The local beer was good, and the pizza was great. So great, we had dinner there again the next night.

On Tuesday, we started out our day at the White Pines Coffee Company inside the shops at Adler & Co. Very cute place with very good coffee and snacks. All there are 70 different local businesses selling stuff there.

Next, we visited the Willapa Seaport Museum and got a tour from Captain Pete. He can really spin a tail and he tries to stump you with questions on what things are. Kelly won a special prize – a brass button!

After the Seaport Museum, we went next door to the Northwest Carriage Museum. Sounds kinda sleepy, but it was wonderful. The tour by Jerry was outstanding and the the history was great. Gotta go if you are in town. Cheri impressed us all when she played the trumpet.
