Agriculture and commerce has always been part of Hoquiam and the Grays Harbor area farmers all around Washington state have endeavored to bring their fresh produce from their beautiful productive farms to the communities of the Grays Harbor area to supply the mixed population of official residents and temporary ones who in the past worked for the logging firms, mills and shingle factories in the area.
Hoquiam's name came from a Native American term, which meant "Hungry for wood" fortunately it is the name given the river that empty into the pacific, not that the people ate wood because they were starving, but rather for the propensity of driftwood from naturally felled logs or through the efforts of men floating and clogging the mouth of the river.
The men who ventured forth into the great forest of the Grays Harbor found their fortunes or meager livelihood from the good quality timber that was felled, hauled and processed and this took much time. The lumber men and those in the mill had little or no time at all to find their own food and other supplies, unlike those that came before them.
As time went by in Hoquiam and Grays Harbor a lot of people came in as contract workers for the big or medium sized lumber corporations and mills and that meant they lived in logging camps that needed everything brought to them, such as food, clothing, personal products and other stuff that a lumberjack or a miller might need or not to drive them and sustain them throughout their quest for more wood.
Fish were far more bountiful before with fresh catch coming over from the coast and the fresh water species like trout and salmon come in from the various river systems all around the Olympic Peninsula, and most of not all those fish were caught by the lumber workers themselves if they can afford the time.
Now fish can still be had, especially if they are in season you will surely find a great whole fresh fish or a sumptuous fillet ready to be poached or fried in any of the fish stalls in the Grays Harbor Market and if you are already hungry and cannot wait to cook your own salmon or trout then surely there will be a small stall selling well cooked and delicious fish dishes to tickle your taste buds.
The rising number or people who were getting employed as tree fellers, mill workers and other work that had to do with the lumber industry of needed more food and other supplies, the basic law of supply and demand was at full work in Hoquiam. More people meant more business for those who produced, manufactured or provided services to meet those growing needs of the people of Hoquiam whether they were true residents or temporary due to their jobs with the logging firms.
If you have the time or the produce or products to tickle the fancy of both residents and visitors to Grays Harbor and Hoquiam, do not hesitate to come and join the Grays Harbor Farmers Market and Craft Fair, this market is open all year and offers the best that the region has to offer in both fresh and processed goods. You will also have a chance to get to see furniture and crafts from the different artisans and manufacturers who have come to offer their wares.
