Aberdeen

Few cities in Washington have a history as closely tied to the timber industry as Aberdeen. Set on the Chehalis River near its confluence with the Wishkah River, the city developed as a working port on Grays Harbor, linking the forests of the Olympic Peninsula with maritime trade. Lumber and fishing helped shape its waterfront identity, while its downtown remains the civic center for this part of the harbor. Aberdeen is also known as the birthplace of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, whose connection to the city remains an important part of its cultural profile.
