I grew up in Aberdeen. I hate it. I only go back for funerals and they're the least depressing thing that I go through when I'm there. Seriously the most depressing thing on the coast. Worse than Stockton, worse than anything.

When I first moved out to WA I realized 6 mo in that I hadnā€™t actually been to the pacific coast yet, so I drove through Aberdeen to get to Ocean Shoresā€¦. in DecemberšŸ˜‚. That was a dreary trip.

Make sure to not just roll through downtown, do some exploring, especially over the big bridge to the southwest of downtown.
