Camas, Washington

Submitted by Craig Tyler

As a 23-year old college graduate, I took your trip over two consecutive summers. Visiting 49 states (not R.I.), 47 of them by car, I can tell you from experience that Camas will easily fit into your coffee table book.

Camas was started as a Mill Town back in the 1800s and is slowly becoming less of that nature. The high school mascot "Papermaker" still remains, but jobs are being cut at the mill making way for high tech innovative companies coming from Portland. Beautifully nestled at the opening to the Columbia River Gorge, Camas sits right on the river with views of Mt Hood to the east and Mt St Helens to the north. Small town feel yet big enough to serve every need, it's not only a great place to be from, it's a place I will always come back to.

we have green lush grass and big hills every where. People usually end up breaking the law

Oakesdale, Washington

Submitted by Alicia Hoshauer

Oakesdale washington is a farming based community, the population is no more than 500 people. You know everyone, and everything. There is a grocery store that is bout the size of gas stations grocery store. The school is pre-school through 12th grade. The high school has roughly 100 people in it. We do have two gas pumps but one you have to have a gas card to use and the other one is open from like 10am-4:30pm. If you like small towns, you definetly need to visit this one. Good luck on the rest of your journey. I see you went to seattle? I am currently living over here, going to school! well enjoy the rest of the trip!

Spokane, Washington

Submitted by Tanya

It is located on the east side of washington state, the population has to be around 200,000-300,000 if not more, this place has been booming since the late 80s. Health Care is a huge industry here. I work at one of the largest hospitals in town which is also the towns largest employer, it is Sacred Heart Medical Center (www.shmc.org). There are 3 other hospitals in town as well. We have Riverfront park that was built in 1974 for the EXPO that year, it was built over the old train shipping yards, right in the center of downtown. There is the beautiful Davenport Hotel that was restored in the last ten years and reopend for business. The downtown area is being revitalized and it now has a more big town, and classy feel to it. Silverwood theme park is a short 40 min drive away and it is the largest theme park in the Northwest, must see it!
Since Spokane is located so close to the boarder of Idaho and close to mountains, lakes and streams, there is a lot of out doors stuff people do here. It's a great place if you would like to know more ask me.
I have two boys 6 and 8 so I am sure I could hook you up with the K-12 elementry school visit.
