Downtown Astoria & Riverwalk
Astoria
The oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, with Victorian houses, a riverwalk, craft beers, and filming locations for The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop.
Astoria was founded in 1811 as the earliest American settlement west of the Rockies. Its Victorian houses, built into the hillside, and its brick old streets are well preserved. The Riverwalk runs about 8 km along the Columbia River, where you can watch giant freighters and sea lions, and on weekends you can ride a vintage riverfront streetcar. The old town has several craft breweries and seafood restaurants. It was also a filming location for The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop. The Goonies house is a private residence and is not open to visitors.
