Grayland Cities along the
Ocean Beaches of the North to south |
The first settlers in this area were Finnish. They developed cranberry bogs and a
flourishing cranberry industry here nearly 150 years ago. The cranberry industry is still flourishing. Nearly half of the cranberries grown in Grayland has a population of around 1,800 people. To live here and survive you must be as persistent as the ocean waves. Life is a constant fight against the salt laden Pacific winds, especially in the winter. To the west of the highway is the beach, an almost never-ending strip of wide, flat, white sand. The beach is 18 miles long. This is a marvelous place to walk on the beach, play at waters edge with the kids, or fly a kite. Grayland is located in
The
cranberry is the king in this area and much of the local population is
involved in the cranberry industry. In
late June the cranberries bloom and in October the harvest of the berries
gives off a vibrant show of color.
They have an annual Cranberry Festival that features a cranberry
cooking contest, live music, tours of the cranberry bogs, and an arts &
crafts fare. The Chamber of Commerce
(listed below) has current information on their web site, look at their
local events page. |
