Schools

Raymond, South Bend, and Willapa Valley communities each have their own school system. They are fiercely competitive in sports, but are equally committed to meeting the education needs of their students. Test scores are generally consistent with those of similar districts elsewhere in the state, and the area has produced outstanding graduates who go on to distinguish themselves in college, military academies, and various careers.

 
 

Real Estate

Local real estate values have increased over the last decade, but at nowhere near the rate of increases in places like Seattle, Tacoma, or Portland. In fact, Raymond and South Bend have some of the state’s lowest housing costs.

 

 

Population

Local commercial activity and population are centered in the cities of Raymond and South Bend with smaller centers in the unincorporated communities of Tokeland and Bay Center. The year 2000 population within the Port of Willapa Harbor district was approximately 10,265 with the Pacific County population slightly over 21,000. Pacific County has one of the lowest population growth rates in the state of Washington.

 
   

A Great Place to live!

Both Raymond and nearby South Bend are traditional small towns. The communities host a range of service clubs, cultural facilities, local parks and many opportunities for outdoor activities.
