Puget Island, Washington, is located in the Columbia River, across from Cathlamet, Washington, and is connected to the mainland by the Washington State Highway 409 bridge across the Cathlamet Channel. Puget Island is connected to Oregon, on the other side of the Columbia River, with the ferry landing in Westport, Oregon. Norwegians established the first permanent residence on the island, farming its fertile land and fishing the rich river waters. The island is today known as “Little Norway.” Norwegians built the two Gothic Lutheran churches in 1929. The Two Islands Farm Market is great place to get fresh produce and socialize with the locals. The Svensen Park and Boat Launch is popular with fishermen and very active during the fishing season. A part of Puget Island is protected within the Puget Island Natural Area Preserve.
