GHCOG is proud to announce the Grays Harbor Hidden Coast Scenic Byway Plan is now available!

This beautiful, picture-filled plan is our corridor management plan for State Route 109. The route begins in historic Hoquiam, moves through the lowlands of the north harbor coast, past ocean-side tourist destinations, evergreen-studded cliffs and beach towns, and ends at Taholah, the center of the Quinault Indian Nation. The plan offers a host of ideas to enhance the highway as a visitor destination.

The plan is available via download, hard copy, or CD. To order a hard copy ($5.00 shipping & handling per copy) or CD ($3.00 shipping & handling per copy) please contact JoLynn at (360) 537-4386 or jdobney@ghcog.org.
