Gerard D'Aboville spent 134 days crossing the Pacific from Japan to Ilwaco in a small, I don't even know if you can call it a boat, it looks more like a big kayak. Someone Google this, it's too incredible.

Sherburne Hotel is the longest continually hotel in Washington State. Built in 1896. Some of it's guests have been Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Paul Newman and Robert Redford and Elizabeth Taylor. Not all at the same time.

This is a giant frying pan and whale sculpture. When I visited the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, I found out this was actually used in giant clam bakes in the 1940's.
