One of Oregon’s oldest cities and one rich in history, Astoria embraces its role as the North Coast’s cultural center. With a performing arts center, several museums and a growing arts and dining scene, Astoria has vibrancy all its own. Beautiful at night, with its sparkling lights and scenic bridge to Washington, Astoria will remind one of a miniature San Francisco.

With a long history of fishing and the timber business, Astoria is benefiting from the return of the salmon runs and capitalizing on it with a strong charter fishing industry and seafood science center in Downtown Astoria.
