69- The Lumber Capital of the World & the Hellhole of the Pacific
Manage episode 347271859 series 2967248
At the head of Grays Harbor, at the southern extremity of the Olympic Peninsula, Aberdeen is located at the junction of the Chehalis and Wishkah rivers.

A number of tiny settlements sprang up on Grays Harbor in the later half of the nineteenth century, but Aberdeen swiftly established itself as the business and cultural center. For much of the region's history, the local economy has been powered by lumber, fisheries, and shipbuilding.
