CATHLAMET, Wash. — The
Wahkiakum County Chamber
of Commerce will present the
34th annual Bald Eagle Days
Festival Friday and Saturday,
July 17 and 18.
When Congress passed the
Bald Eagle Endangered Spe-
cies Act, the Cathlamet Wom-
en’s Club decided to parade
through Cathlamet in support
of the majestic bird.
Over the years, the annual
event has grown into a festival
drawing crowds of more than
3,000 people. The bald eagle
is no longer endangered, and
Wahkiakum County is proud
of that many eagles can be
seen in and around the area.
The annual festival is a
weekend of fun and offers one
