Washington State
There's so much to love!
Our campus is located in the city of Longview, Washington, on the banks of the lower
Columbia River, in the scenic Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
Our location is perfect for college students - it offers the safety, atmosphere, and
charm of a small town, but is close enough to major cities to enjoy the excitement
and activity of Portland, OR and Seattle, WA.
Longview offers a friendly, relaxed lifestyle with year-round recreation. A variety
of theaters, art galleries, museums, markets, and restaurants make up the downtown
area. Larger shopping centers and cultural venues are within easy reach in Seattle,
Washington (2-hour drive), and Portland, Oregon (1-hour drive).
The jewel of Longview is beautiful Lake Sacajawea Park, just a short walk from the
LCC campus. It is a popular place for outdoor festivals, picnics, running and biking,
and enjoying the wonderful gardens.
The Pacific Northwest is known for its rugged ocean beaches, majestic mountains, and
towering forests of evergreen trees. It's a perfect place to get out and explore.
Whether you love the outdoors or prefer indoor fun, there's something to enjoy.
