Washington’s Oldest Hotel, The Tokeland Hotel, Has A New Restaurant And You Should Go
Tokeland is a tiny coastal town in Pacific County. With a population of 151, it’s safe to say there’s not much to it. However, it does happen to be home to Washington’s oldest hotel. The Tokeland Hotel dates all the way back to 1885, but the onsite restaurant is much newer… and it’s worth driving all the way to the coast just to dine there.

And it was their daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, William Kindred, who built the current structure as a home and haven for travelers.
While the space has been lovingly restored, it still has a historic charm. The 18 rooms are cozy and comfortable, and the atmosphere is welcoming.
Heather, who has owed and operated Seattle's Wandering Goose Restaurant since 2012, immediately opened a restaurant at the hotel.
Heather is originally from North Carolina, and her cooking definitely has Southern flair.
This is why you'll see everything from fresh oysters to fried green tomatoes on the menu. The menu changes seasonally, but you'll always find plenty of seafood and Southern inspired goodness on it.
They also have chicken, miniature pigs, a rabbit, and an adorable yellow lab named Gus here. Heather still owns the Wandering Goose, so it's safe to say this family stays busy.
Then, fall asleep in the peace and quiet before waking up and filling your belly again.
Address: 100 Hotel Road, Tokeland, WA, 98590
Restaurant hours: Daily from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.
Book your stay at Washington’s oldest hotel here. But beware… you just might spot a ghost.
