The Meager Township Of Hoquiam Evaluates The Past And Keeps Up With Its Neighbors
Its an unwritten law, a town has to grow and prosper or else it’ll be slowly be forgotten and inevitably life will move in search of something fresh and challenging. This chance to grow is now knocking on the Town of Hoquiam, Washington, the waterfront area of the town is attracting positive interest and this can mean new things and new challenges to the people who call this town named after the river on whose banks it was built and still stands.
In the Pacific Northwest, in Washington State lies a small lovely town bearing the name of the river Hoquiam. The townsfolk are in deep thought about change and growth since an opportunity came knocking on their door with an offer to develop the river waterfront and area that has not really seen much interest since it’s heyday in the 1980′s. The development can bring about new things to the town like water sports facilities, fine dining restaurants, bars, hotels, new shops and stores and of course visitors.
The memoirs of these early loggers and townspeople who forever called the quaint town their home, are well honored and remembered through the annual events celebrated and made famous all around the world. The wonders and good clean fun these festivities seem to foster among the participants and guest and just right so, because the people of this logging town near the mouth of its river namesake would not have it any differently. The Loggers’ Playday and the lumberjack competition and parade held during the fall demonstrate to visitors and outsiders the innate appreciation of the people for life and all the things that make it such a value to those who are blessed with it. It is this attitude and respect for heritage and foresight that is clearly needed to push forward the new development and growth that this community inevitably requires to enable them to continue celebrating what is dear and close to their hearts.
The people are not afraid of growth and change; it is in their nature to accept growth and the inevitable change that comes with it. What the town of Hoquiam wants and needs is a sort of personal confirmation that they are going to embrace development for their waterfront for all the right reasons. Yes, the economy is reason enough, even the chance to show up its bigger neighbor to the east, the town of Aberdeen the other end of a rich history of rivalry between two towns is also something to consider.
The potential for growth for the town is enormous. Change is something that should not be feared it should be welcomed and tamed to serve the wants and needs of the townspeople, it should serve as a means to protect and continually nurture what has been always important in the hearts and minds of those who call this town by the river mouth, and that something is pride.
Pride in the history of those who came before and what they have achieved for those who came later and pride for those who continue to develop themselves and their community to better honor the collective memories of all those individuals, family, friends and visitors who have called their Hoquiam home.
