Raymond
| In the
early 1900's Raymond was known as a wild lumber town built on stilts over
tidelands and sloughs. Twenty mills and several ship building factories line
the waterfront. During World War 1, 1918-1919, ten wooden ships were launched
ready for war. Today, the prominent features are the Weyerhaeuser sawmill and
Raymond Public Library, which is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. Yearly festivals include the Willapa Harbor Festival, Fireman's Muster
and a river fishing Salmon Derby. The old Raymond Theatre has been refurbished
and is being used once again. Most recently metal art has been added throughout
Raymond. From Raymond, the traveler can take a 20-mile side trip to Tokeland
along the northern shores of the Willapa Bay, through the Shoalwater Indian
Reservation. In Tokeland, visitors can enjoy the historic Tokeland Hotel, a
famous beach resort in the 1890s
