Its an unwritten law, a town has to grow and prosper or else it’ll be slowly be forgotten and inevitably life will move in search of something fresh and challenging. This chance to grow is now knocking on the Town of Hoquiam, Washington, the waterfront area of the town is attracting positive interest and this can mean new things and new challenges to the people who call this town named after the river on whose banks it was built and still stands.

In the Pacific Northwest, in Washington State lies a small lovely town bearing the name of the river Hoquiam. The townsfolk are in deep thought about change and growth since an opportunity came knocking on their door with an offer to develop the river waterfront and area that has not really seen much interest since it’s heyday in the 1980’s. The development can bring about new things to the town like water sports facilities, fine dining restaurants, bars, hotels, new shops and stores and of course visitors.

It is in the past that those who call Hoquiam their home get their will and joy of living, it is evident in the way they relive their traditions and local culture, celebrating what has been their way of life, generations past. The yearly festivities called Loggers Playday and other events held in the fall like the annual parade and logger’s competition, refresh people’s minds of who they really are and what can become of them in the near future.

A revitalized waterfront area can bring in new opportunities for the locals, since the late 1980’s the waterfront area has seen better days, but with the right vision combined with the right attitude, this project if properly supported can be maximized to its fullest potential. The possibility of opening new waterfront restaurants offering excellent cuisine, shops that offer and sell a wide range of products and produce to both locals and tourist and opportunities for service type businesses are all in the pipeline.

The town wants and needs to grow, to be able to continue its proud heritage and tradition of hard work and resiliency against odds that would make any other kind of person weak in the knees. The waterfront part of the town has been in neglect for some years now, and rebuilding it is something that is just going to be something right and good. Its newly painted buildings and facilities will bring in a sense of progress, something that the townsfolk and their forefather’s have always worked hard for to achieve.

New restaurants, shops, and stores will bring in more business and with more business comes better comfort and more time to remember what is worth remembering. In Hoquiam, that is the enjoyment of life itself. The town will always share with other folk their love and pride in life and the traditions that have kept this love alive, will hopefully as they have always done so in their past carry them on to the future. Change is coming and it is really something that is good for everyone in this quaint little lumber town named after the river where it has been for years and hopefully through development, for generations more to come.
