When searching for a fresh start or just beginning your life’s journey it is very important that you find a place that you can call home. Most people will say that home is a place where you grew up, an area where your mom and dad’s house is, it is where everybody knows everybody from childhood. Almost everyone in the world has such a place, almost everyone can say they have a home.
A lot of people want a place where they can really live a life that is not too laid back but not too hectic either, where you can walk around day and night and not worry about being mugged or robbed, a place where after just a few months staying there, you already know a lot of people and people know you. That is the kind of place people want and need.
If you are really into looking for a new home to get a fresh start or invest in then the city of Hoquiam maybe the place for you. Hoquiam in the state of Washington is a lovely place to live in. Its nestled near the banks of the Hoquiam river and is surrounded by nature. It was established by people who new hard work and perseverance was key to survival and personal growth, it was built by men and women who saw something out of wilderness and forest and used those to forge progress.
People who made Hoquiam what it was and what it is today is surprisingly varied in the purest sense of the word. A lot of people came from all around to try their hand in working for the lumber industry that was Hoquiam’s seed of life as a town, since the mid 1800′s, Hoquiam was a busy lumber town, where fortunes and misfortunes were all made of wood. Thus, the people who first settled Hoquiam had to do with lumber and if not so, were providing their goods and services to those who did.
The present population of Hoquiam is pretty small compared to other cities around Washington, it has the following demographics. Of the total population there are 4,425 males and that is 48.6% of the total population, there are 4,672 females or 51.4% of the population. There are 2,491 under 18 or 7.4% of the Hoquiam population, there are 6,606 above 18 years of age or 2.6% of the population, 15.3% of that is 65+1, or 393 of the total residents. The median age is 36.1 and the average family size is 3.09. The ethnic mix is as follows; White 8,125 or 9.3%, African-American 29 or 0.3%, Asian 107 or 1.2%, American Indian & Alaskan 351 or 3.9%, Other 190 or 2.1%, Mixed Race 289 or 3.2%, Hispanic (included in categories above) 523 or 5.7%.
Hoquiam and its people care about its traditions and heritage, it values these very much. Their sense of history is bordering on the deeply appreciative since the towns establishment, the people have shown a growing pride in their towns past and have moved as a community in trying to preserve it not only for posterity but also for want of identity and sense of honor. You will get a lot of that in Hoquiam and if you are the type who has passion for roots and heritage you will fit right in. Hoquiam has more than a few places that demonstrate their love for memories, around town you will find the old train depot that has been restored and is now being leased by the state government, it has stood there in its place since 1914 and its still serving people mind you. You also have the 7th Street Theatre that was built in the roaring 20′ and still showing classics to Hoquiam residents. Of course there is the Hoquiam Castle, a proud former home of one of the lumber barons turned into a bed and breakfast and the pride of Hoquiam when it comes to sharing its past, Polson’s museum, a former home of one of Hoquiam’s elite, giving back to the people how Hoquiam was and in essence still is.
Hoquiam is a very nice place to live and invest in, it is definitely a place where you would want your children to grow, and it is place where you will be proud to call home. If you and your family value people and their past and how they perceive life with all the things that make it as it is, then this is the place for you. If home is somewhere you are always welcome but whenever you stay you learn something valuable, then Hoquiam is what you are looking for.
A home that loves you back, that is what Hoquiam is all about, it is the people who live around you that matters, people who you can rely on you and help you and your family if need be, people who you will always be proud to call your neighbors. The most interesting about deciding to be part of Hoquiam is, your willingness and your character to be a good neighbor, to be a responsible resident, a nice person is simply the pre-requisites of being able to call Hoquiam your home too.
