Jack's Country Store

Founded in 1885, when the area was still part of Washington Territory, and now thought to be the oldest continuing retail business in the state, Jack’s Country Store maintains traditions of rural America. The general mercantile is the real thing, a fact that becomes immediately evident to first-time visitors who marvel at the wood floors, rolling track ladders, enormous oak showcases and a beautiful stained glass ceiling, all functional fixtures in the store. Ocean Park, Washington, is situated close to the center of the North Beach Peninsula and was founded as a church camp. The Pacific Ocean is all you can see to the west. To the north is a wildlife refuge. To the east, Willapa Bay is created by the peninsula’s separation of the Pacific Ocean from the mainland.
