I live in Centralia. Half hour from the Sound for Blackmouth, Crab, & Shrimp. Half hour from the Cowlitz & Toutle. 45 min. from Riffe. 45 min from the columbia out of Longview, one hour & 45 min from the mouth Of the Columbia & the Naselle. 3 & a half hours from Tillamook Bay...And the taxes aren't too bad either. Oh and we're right on the Skook & Newakie....
