Inn at Harbor Village, Ilwaco Washington

I'm on my way to a coastal adventure this Thursday and Friday. We are going to explore the old fishing village of Ilwaco, Washington. Sit under an umbrella and eat local crab! Walk Long Beach. Duck into some antuque stores and relax before the crush of summer tourists hit this beautiful coast.

The Inn at Harbor Village is set above the fishing port of Ilwaco and looks to be a glorious place for a respite and a good story!

This weekend there is an art/wine walk (!) and a market . The town is an alternative to the sometimes raucous beach town of Long Beach and it's prettier sister Seaside. The accomodation options in Long Beach looked dowdy and a bit run-down for me so we decided tosearch the internet and found this lovely Cape-Cod style inn with a chapel attached ( It was a church in a previous incarnation) . The rooms are delightful and tastefully appointed. Peter and Janis Bale are proprieters and I'm excited to meet them. Stay tuned for my article on them in Global Writes Magazine . . .
