Mount St. Helens

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 s 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.
