Grays Harbor County – “Where Landscapes Meet and Histories Unfold”

Grays Harbor County is a place where isolated beaches meet the rugged landscapes of the Olympic Peninsula. As seen from the top of the Westport Viewing Tower, the two jetties that line the channel to Grays Harbor are not far apart as the crow flies, but it takes over an hour to drive from one side of the harbor to the other. The historic Grays Harbor Lighthouse provides visitors with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and serves as a symbol of the area’s maritime legacy. The county lies on the lands of the Quinault people, also known as the Canoe People, named for the Western Redcedar, the Tree of Life.
