Travel Astoria: Your Coastal Guide

Where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, Astoria and Warrenton entice history buffs, lighthouse hunters, craft-beer lovers, and Goonies fans alike. TravelAstoria.com serves as the region’s digital welcome center, guiding would-be visitors to lodging, dining, and must-see attractions while capturing the town’s salt-air charm.

Cascade’s collaboration with the Astoria–Warrenton Chamber began in 2012. Over time, new mobile habits, accessibility standards, and a growing library of trip ideas pushed the original site to its limits. We responded with a full rebuild in Evergreen, swapping rigid templates for flexible content blocks that Chamber staff can update in minutes.

The refreshed site spotlights curated itineraries, photo-rich “See & Do” galleries, and an interactive event calendar that powers promotions for marquee gatherings such as the Crab Festival and Goonies Day. Downloadable visitor guides and zoomable maps help travelers chart routes long before they reach Highway 30, while performance tweaks—lazy-loaded images, streamlined scripts, and SEO-friendly metadata—keep pages fast and discoverable.

Today TravelAstoria.com drives thousands of itinerary downloads each month and funnels qualified traffic to local hotels, restaurants, and tour operators. For the Chamber, the site is both a marketing engine and an easy-to-maintain resource—proof that a decade-long partnership and thoughtfully crafted code can fuel an entire coastal economy.
