Description
Beach image at Seaview Washington.
Originally a summer community for the Portland gentry, Seaviews quiet tree-lined streets invite strollers to enjoy turn-of-the-century Victorian homes which are survivors of a developers plans from the 1880s.
Seaview was once a depot on the Clamshell Railroad, the narrow gauge train that ran with the tides that ran up the Long Beach Peninsula from 1889 to 1930. There was only a platform and shed at Seaview until 1905 when a regular depot was built.
A wooden boardwalk ran between the station and a business block, approximately one-quarter mile in length. Merchants included an ice cream shop, an oyster lunch establishment, and a market.
