Traveler Guide to Asotin, WA
Clarkston is a city of 7,200 people (2020) in the Palouse region of eastern Washington. It sits across the Snake River to the west of Lewiston, Idaho. This article also includes the neighboring city of Asotin, as well as rural Asotin County.
Clarkston and Lewiston were named after William Clark and Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition fame. Agriculture is a major industry in the area and the port handles a lot of barge traffic carrying grains. Wood chips and sawdust are transported via barges for use at a Lewiston manufacturing plant. Due to its inland location on the Snake River, the port handles goods headed out to Portland-Vancouver, and inland to distributors upstream.
