Longview, Industrial city in Southwest Washington, United States
Longview is an industrial city in southwest Washington on the Columbia River. The streets run in wide grids between residential areas, shopping zones, and factory sites surrounded by forested hills.
The city was laid out in the 1920s as a planned community by a timber magnate who wanted to settle workers for his mills. It gained official city status in 1924 and grew quickly into a center for paper and lumber industries.
The name comes from the layout of streets planned by an early 20th-century designer who wanted long sight lines across town. The lake in the park honors the Shoshone woman who helped Lewis and Clark during their expedition.
The city is easy to explore on foot or by car, with most shops and services located along the main streets. Public facilities offer online forms and information that make access to local services straightforward.
The municipality runs its own leaf collection program that focuses only on trees planted by the city. This service operates over several months in fall and early winter to keep streets and sidewalks clear.
