WASHINGTON’S EVERGREEN COAST – February 2026 continued a strong start to the year for Washington’s Evergreen Coast, with media coverage highlighting the region’s historic charm, coastal beauty, culinary experiences, and signature seasonal traditions.
Leading the month’s coverage, 1889 Magazine featured the Tokeland Hotel in a dedicated piece titled “Tokeland Hotel: Historic Coastal Escape.” The article, which stemmed from a hosted press trip, showcased the property’s rich history, rustic elegance, and connection to the Willapa Bay shoreline—reinforcing the Evergreen Coast’s reputation for authentic and memorable lodging experiences.
National travel outlets further elevated the destination’s profile. Islands highlighted Washington’s peaceful coastal getaway nestled between forests and beaches, emphasizing the region’s unique blend of natural serenity and accessibility. When In Your State featured both historic Washington towns and an under-the-radar coastal city, reinforcing the Evergreen Coast as a place where heritage, charm, and discovery intersect.
Food and travel storytelling also played a key role in February coverage. Seattle Met included Evergreen Coast destinations in its roundup of the best restaurants in Washington State, while Beach.com named the region among the best beach towns near Seattle for an easy weekend escape. These features continue to position the coast as both a culinary destination and a convenient getaway for urban travelers.
Seasonal events and outdoor recreation remained at the forefront. The Daily World highlighted updates to the Razor Clam and Seafood Festival schedule and covered crabbing activity on Willapa Bay, while Thurston Talk reported on newly approved razor clam dig dates extending into early spring. These stories underscore the Evergreen Coast’s strong connection to coastal traditions and accessible outdoor experiences.
Local and regional coverage rounded out the month with stories celebrating arts, culture, and community. Discover Our Coast featured gallery events on the Long Beach Peninsula, while additional reporting highlighted the anticipated reopening of Cape Disappointment State Park later this year—an important milestone for one of the region’s most iconic attractions.
From historic hotels and scenic coastlines to fresh seafood and hands-on outdoor recreation, February’s media coverage reinforces Washington’s Evergreen Coast as a year-round destination rooted in authenticity, natural beauty, and unforgettable experiences.
