Raymond rewards residents with river views, maritime history, and an easy-going pace that still keeps you connected. Set along the Willapa River, it’s minutes from working waterfronts and coastal escapes, with quick access to neighboring South Bend and the beachy buzz of Long Beach. As the county seat of Pacific County, Raymond blends small-town convenience with services that make day-to-day living simple.
History buffs and weekend explorers have plenty to love. The Northwest Carriage Museum showcases an exquisite collection of 19th‑century vehicles in beautifully curated galleries, while the Willapa Seaport Museum dives into the region’s fishing and maritime roots. Around town, you’ll spot whimsical wood sculptures and murals celebrating the area’s logging heritage. Outdoor time comes naturally: paddle the Willapa River, watch migratory birds across the estuary, or head south to the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge for boardwalk strolls and miles of wild coastline.
Families appreciate the close-knit Raymond School District, known for supportive teachers, multigrade opportunities, and spirited athletics. City services are straightforward and responsive through the City of Raymond, and local shops, cafes, and makers keep Main Street humming. Oyster beds, timber, and port activity shape the economy, while coastal trails and festivals fill the calendar with reasons to get out and explore.
