Local Photographers David Lloyd and Flo Niemesch continue to show their work through July. During August and September we will feature photos by Paula Friedman.

Nights in White Salmon Art & Wine Fusiontop of page

The White Salmon Arts Council’s fifth annual Art & Wine Fusion took place on Saturday, July 18. This Year’s event surpassed all others with attendance of over 600 people filling Jewett Boulevard. The Inn of the White Salmon participated by hosting Syncline Winery and music by local band Black Ice.

Remodel Updates top of page

Ten of our 15 private guest rooms have been taken back to what we are calling the Contemporary Craftsman Era, with natural wood floors, earth tone colors, pedestal beds, wooden accents, and flat screen TVs mounted on the wall.

Each of our refurbished rooms features a quote on the wall, designed and applied by local artist John Mayo.

The upstairs hall and stairwell have also been transformed.
