The Port of Grays Harbor does not provide ground transportation to or from Bowerman Airport. Ground transportation may be available via Lyft or Uber, but availability may be limited.

We haven't stayed in Hoquiam overnight.
Adjacent to the runway is the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refugee, with a walking trail from the airport. Hoquiam hosts an annual Shorebird Festival.
