Welcome – you have discovered South Bend, the county seat of Pacific County; a city of some 1,700 located on the Willapa River in the heart of timber country and home to major seafood processors – oyster, shrimp, tuna, clams, - all available fresh or processed.

The river invites boating of all kinds – power boating, canoeing, kayaking and commercial – all able to take advantage of the city’s new docks and boat launch.

The city’s restaurants offer a variety of menus - enough to satisfy the most discerning of taste buds (American, Chinese, Mexican and barbeque). In addition the well-stocked grocery store offers a deli comparable to any major store’s offerings. Perhaps your taste buds lean towards oysters? The local tavern offers a snack that is recognized as far away as New York!

All of this within walking distance of available parking downtown.

A visit to the nationally famous Pacific County Courthouse should be on your agenda or perhaps a peek into our antique stores, our local museum or for unique gifts, the local pharmacy.

Please stop by and enjoy a quiet and restful break from the pressures of the travel.
