The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

More than 100 Wahkiakum County residents lined Main Street in Cathlamet on Monday to greet Rick Nelson, Publisher and Editor of the Wahkiakum County Eagle, as he traveled home from OHSU to spend his final days surrounded by family and friends. The campaign was entirely community driven, as neighbors and friends excitedly shared the plan with each other, with only one rule: they would stay off social media as long as possible in order to keep Nelson from finding out about it.
