About the area |
The city of Raymond sits along the Willapa river and just to the East of the Willapa bay. If you stroll the downtown streets of Raymond you will come across an amazing sight. Steel sculptures of wildlife and people bring to life the Raymond scenery along Highway 101, State Route 6, and throughout downtown Raymond. The sculptures depict Loggers, Native Americans, elk, and bear. Marine artifacts, information, insight, and humor greet visitors to the Willapa Seaport Museum. The museum is not just devoted to maritime subjects. It also displays memorabilia from the logging industry to shipbuilding, from the life saving service to the Spruce Division (WWI), and from Native Americans to Lightships and Lighthouses. But the collections of thousands of valuable items attempt to tie the history of Willapa Bay and the Pacific Northwest to the sea.
