$6.3 million in federal cash for a used Ocean Shores hotel.
Any questions from newspeople?
In the news:
December 8, 2022 The Daily World
Dept. of Ag invests $6.3M to purchase Ocean Shores hotel
$6.3 million “to fund the acquisition of an existing hotel. Marathon Enterprises Inc. is located in Ocean Shores, Grays Harbor County, Washington. The project is expected to result in saving eight jobs and creating one full time job.”
Zero questions from small or large newspapers. Zero questions from TV newspeople.
Possibly of interest:
Drive down to the former public parking area at Damon Point and see what Westport would look like today if efforts to maintain the coast were suspended decades ago.

At one time this location featured the Silver King Motel and the Marina View Restaurant next to the marina. Also, a grocery store, charter boat fishing, a boat lift and room to tie up 200 small boats.
