Skamokawa...

can be described as a very small, blink-and-you'll-miss-it village on the lower Columbia river. Most people drive through on their way to somewhere else, but some stop for awhile, and some choose to stay. After a several decade population dwindle, the numbers are just starting to climb the other way. You'll find some of the reasons for that here.
