John Dale: A local gem and worth a visit if in the area. This 1903 house is filled with local history to include the owners and history from the area in the early 20th century.
David Garrison: This hidden gem is a labor of love for the people that keep it running in todays political climate, and the night program led by a Yale professor turned park ranger is a world-class astronomy lecture. This is the first experience in a long time to fill me with awe in the full sense of the work. This is without a doubt worth driving a few hours and getting a motel to see.
R K: PISTON LLC Bought the old Yard Birds building back in July of 2024 for $2.4 million according to "The Chronicle". We will see how they use the building and hope they keep the Mascot bird!! Maybe something fun to do inside. Maybe an amusement center? Go karts, combo trampoline park, who knows?!?!
Larry Cebula: We pulled in with four people just before they closed and they rolled out the red carpet for us. We had such great conversations about local and regional history. If you can catch them when they are open, this place is a gem.
Amber Fiedler: Beautiful park with lots of shade. The area is covered by trees which is really nice on hot days. The playground seems like it needs a good cleaning however this area is excellent for bringing kids. There is a lot of wildlife, my daughter loves picking up little baby crabs. If youre lucky sometimes you can see orcas in the water or jelly fish. The only reason Im putting 4 stars instead of 5 is the sketchy people that come and go. I dont like leaving my car to go to the beach. I wish there were cameras or something. Also they have a covered patio for parties.
Steven: Its called Overlook park. IT should be called Overgrown park. This view could be amazing. First attraction when coming into Shelton,it lures you in and then youre like I cant see anything because of all the trees and bushes??? awesome job Shelton you did it again..
wes ford: Its right by the river. It can be hard to find places to park along the omak river and this is a nice one. It is also the site of the farmers market around these parts.
Gary Zambor: Ive come to our property for the last four years, and this is the first year that I really went exploring around town. This year I came across this amazing gem. I would highly recommend taking some time to stop by and see this place. It has a lot of really cool stuff to look at, especially if you are a history buff like myself!
Les Herrera: Seeing the World’s Largest Oyster in Washington state was a quirky and fun detour on our trip! Located in the small town of South Bend, this giant mollusk is a charming roadside attraction that’s definitely worth a quick stop if you’re in the area.
The oyster itself is an impressive sight – a testament to the region’s rich shellfish history. It’s displayed with informative signs that provide interesting facts about the local oyster industry, making it both an educational and entertaining visit.
The area around the oyster is well-maintained and offers a nice spot for a quick picnic or stretch break. There’s also a small park nearby where you can enjoy the coastal scenery.
While it’s not a destination you’d spend hours at, the World’s Largest Oyster is a delightful piece of Americana that adds a touch of whimsy to any road trip through Washington state. If you appreciate unique and offbeat attractions, you’ll definitely want to add this to your list!
Jesse White: We just stopped in to purchase a bark Ranger tag after spending four hours exploring the Willapa Hills State Park Trail. Volunteer came off as aggressive but I don’t think it was intentional. Free street parking out front. Hours posted on door differed from google hours.
