Welcome to the City of Kalama, Washington. Kalama is located in Cowlitz County on the Columbia River north of Vancouver, Washington and south of Kelso & Longview, Washington.

Kalama has many exciting activities going on: from spring Chinook fishing to the antique classic car show. Kalama is a small town with a lot to offer.

 

People from all over flock to Kalama for its famous Chinook, steelhead, and sturgeon fishing. When summer swings around people take to the waters of the Columbia and Kalama rivers for a summer of water sports, sailing, wind surfing, rafting and canoeing. We have an excellent marina and boat launch.

 

When the summer tapers down, the community participates in youth soccer, Kalama Middle/High School sporting events and the festive Christmas celebration, 'Christmas in Kalama'. The High School has also been made famous by the recent release of the "Twilight" movies. Kalama High School's parking lot and other areas where used in the filming of the movie. Interstate 5 runs directly through Kalama, giving tourists the option of visiting the world's tallest totem pole or taking on some unique antique shopping in one of the Northwest's biggest antique districts.

The City of Kalama is on its way to even greater things, working in conjunction with local businesses, school, and the Port of Kalama to improve our small city.

 

Kalama still remains "undiscovered" for many home builders and entrepreneurs. You can sit on your deck overlooking the Columbia River and the hills of Oregon, and watch the sun go down in a community where opportunity lies. Kalama will always be known for being a "Small Town with Big Horizons" and being the place "Where Highway, Rail and Water Meet".
