So you come home from a busy day at the office. Slip into some shorts, grab a beach chair, a good book and an icy Guinness and head off to the beach. Now remember the sandy Columbia River beach is just a short walk from your front door. Two, maybe three minutes max. It's perfect for swimming, picnics, campfires and ghost stories. And don't forget the occasional s'more. You'll forget you're seven minutes from the heart of the city. Where else can you live like that?
