Coastal Coffee and its Coastal Colors

Found in South Bend, Washington; an entry for Monday Mural on 'Colourful World.' ...
Coastal Coffee 101, South Bend

Coastal Coffee

While we are still in Washington (with the recent posts on Hoh Rainforest and Hurricane Ridge), let me show you a pretty little sight I saw on our way to Olympic National Park. It’s a cute little painted cabin – a building covered with art. Painted in the colors of the sea and images inspired by the Pacific Ocean not very far from it, it was labeled Coastal Coffee 101.

A coffee shop it is. And the 101 has to be for the US 101 – the highway beside which the cafe is located. And the city where this adorable cafe is located is South Bend, Washington.

I spotted Coastal Coffee 101 on our way, on the route between Cape Disappointment and Hoh Rainforest, if you would like to look for it while you are traveling that side.

Not very far from the painted cabin, I also came across this roadside attraction — some signs and photographs that seemed to be celebrating South Bend, WA.

South Bend, WA

South Bend, Washington gets its name from the Willapa River on whose banks the city stands. It is on the southern part of a big meander of the river, to be more precise.

South Bend, WA is said to have been established in 1869. And it looks like it’s proud of its nickname, the Oyster Capital of the World as well as its courthouse (pictured in the middle, in the picture above), which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

South Bend is located in Pacific County in Washington and happens to be the county seat, too. It is also known for the large amounts of oyster harvesting that is done in the Willapa River.

Did you know:
One out of every six oysters consumed in the US comes from this part of Washington, they say.

      Isn’t it?
      Tele-vision, you mean? 🤔
      Haven’t we developed that for murals, thanks to Monday Mural. 😁

      Have a good week, Iris. 🙂

    As soon as I saw the name of the coffee shop, I knew it was on Route 101. Simply charming. It makes me want to stop in for a cup of coffee. I also like the photos of all those signs from South Bend, too.

      It’s lovely how the 101 works for it, is it not?
      Charming indeed. 👍👍

      It was nice learning a little bit about South Bend, thanks to the mural. 🙂

      Have a lovely week, Elizabeth. 🙂

      Inviting, eh?
      We were in a bit of a hurry to get to Hoh Rainforest that day.

      As I was putting the post together, I was thinking — I’m going to stop there next time. 😁

      Here’s wishing you a Happy Week ahead, Jackie. 🙂

    …Cape Disappointment, what a name! I hope that the mural is good for business. I Oregon I’ve driven 101 a number of time, but not into Washington. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your week.

      …for the many shipwrecks that took place there. It’s a gorgeous green area, though.
      I hope the mural is good for its business. It sure is eye-catching.

      Thank you for coming this way, Tom.
      Happy Work Week. 🙂
