Wahkiakum County

Among the regions of the United States, Wahkiakum County stands out for its quiet reach of the lower Columbia River in southwest Washington. The river defines the county’s southern edge, while forested foothills of the Coast Range rise to the north. Cathlamet, the county seat, sits on the Columbia’s north bank opposite Puget Island, linking river life with small-town services and local agriculture. Logging, fishing and river transport have long shaped this sparsely populated county, whose name recalls a Chinook leader. Roads follow the water and lead through farmland, woodland and riverside settlements rather than major urban centres.
