Chinook

Located in the southwest corner of the state of Washington, Chinook was originally known as the town of Old Chinookville and was home to over 1,000 Native Americans until the arrival of white colonists sadly decimated the village with disease. In the early 1800s, the town became a famous waypoint for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Later on, Chinook became a wealthy town due to the rich salmon fishery at the mouth of the Columbia River.
