Longview

Few cities in Washington have a history as closely tied to the Long-Bell Lumber Company as Longview. Established in 1923 as a planned company town, it grew beside the Cowlitz River, close to its meeting with the Columbia, where Washington faces Oregon across the water. Lake Sacajawea Park follows a landscaped lake created during the town's early development and remains central to civic life. Longview's broad streets and orderly layout reflect the ambitions of an industrial community built around timber, while the Port of Longview connects the city to trade on the Columbia River.
