Boat building is a growing industry on Grays Harbor and you can trace its roots with a tour or cruise on the Lady Washington, a historic reproduction of the ship that Captain Robert Gray used to first explore the West Coast. Some of the homes once owned by timber barons living here are available for tours or as bed & breakfasts. Museums, festivals, community events, performing arts and a farmer's market fill the calendar year round, while the spring and fall migration stopover of hundreds of thousand of shorebirds at the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge is an amazing sight. A variety of dining and overnight accommodations will make your stay in Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Cosmopolis one you will remember.
