Hoquiam WA Attractions: Historical, speeding, brewing, and abounding natural beauty characterize the activities in Hoquiam WA. Details, links, photos here.

Hoquiam WA is about three hours south of Port Angeles, WA, a very doable distance for a day-trip from the northern Olympic Peninsula region. It will be so worth it if there is an attraction here that specifically interests you.  

It is very tempting to drive through Hoquiam WA and wonder: Surely there are not many Hoquiam WA attractions in this li'l town. But, depending on your interests, you might discover otherwise!

Does architecture and history interest you? The town of Hoquiam has been around since 1890. You can peak into the past through a visit to two museums and several historical locations.

Does speed rev your engines? Grays Harbor Raceway is a few miles away in nearby Elma WA.

Does natural and wild beauty bring comfort and peace to your heart? I'm glad, because Hoquiam's location near both the Pacific coast and the nearby rain forests provides Hoquiam WA attractions and fishing opportunities that are tailor-made for you.
